Connecting to the StoreOnce Backup System from the backup application
Make sure you have the latest version or software patches for the backup application. Please see
or
for supported applications.
Stop and restart the backup application services after the backup device has been discovered. If
you still cannot access the device, check Device Manager to make sure it is accessible from the
host.
•
Make sure that the iSCSI initiator is connected to the devices and log on to them, if they are
not, configure them on the Targets tab of the iSCSI Initiator.
•
If it is not accessible, rerun Discovery.
NOTE:
There are practical limitations on the number of devices that each host and FC switch or
HBA can access. It is possible to configure more drive and library devices than a host can access.
The limit for Windows or Linux hosts using the iSCSI interface is 64. Using the Fibre Channel
connection there is a theoretical limit of 255 devices per FC port on a host or switch, but the actual
limit is usually lower due to switch or host port imposed limits. It is recommended that no more
than 64 devices are configured for use by a single host.

NOTE:
If you have selected the Link aggregation mode, ensure that switch is configured correctly.
