1 Introduction

Product description

HP StoreOnce VSA is a software-only version of the HP StoreOnce Backup system. Packaged as a virtual appliance, it can be deployed and run on a Microsoft Server 2012 R2 Hyper-V or vSphere

5.1 or 5.5 hypervisor (ESXi) installed by the customer. Once deployed, the user has access to the

StoreOnce VSA for both Web Management via the StoreOnce GUI and command line management via the StoreOnce CLI.

HP StoreOnce VSA supports two storage capacity licenses of 4 TB and 10 TB.

Deployment of StoreOnce VSA in each hypervisor environment is described in the following chapters.

Chapter 2, Deploying StoreOnce VSA on Microsoft Hyper-V

Chapter 3, Deploying StoreOnce VSA on VMware ESXi

Neither deployment configures any user data storage automatically; you are recommended to follow the instructions to add user data storage before initially powering on the StoreOnce VSA.

Once deployed, you are able to create the following StoreOnce backup target devices on the HP

StoreOnce VSA:

StoreOnce Catalyst stores

• iSCSI VT libraries

CIFS and NFS NAS shares

The virtual appliance is fully compatible with HP StoreOnce hardware products for replication and

Catalyst Copy functions.

StoreOnce VSA system requirements for both deployments methods are the same and are described in the next section.

6 Introduction

Sufficient SCSI ports available on the controller to support the number of virtual disks that will be deployed (up to 10 may be required, if 10 virtual disks are created)

Supported datastores on VMware vSphere

StoreOnce VSA is supported on VMFS3, VMFS5 and NFS datastores. StoreOnce VSA is not supported on Raw Device Mapping (RDM).

With NFS datastores, StoreOnce VSA has been tested and qualified on thin-provisioned disks and inflated thick-provisioned disks. No qualification has been done on VAAI supported NAS storage.

StoreOnce VSA supports Storage vMotion between NFS datastores, between VMFS and NFS datastores and vice-versa. According to VMware best practices on NFS datastores, it is recommended to increase the Net.TcpipHeapSize and Net.TcpipHeapMax parameters to achieve greater throughput and performance. It is also recommended to refer to your NAS storage provider’s best practices for further improvements.

Using LUNs hosted on different physical spindles helps avoid I/O bottlenecks for StoreOnce VSA.

VMFS3.MaxHeapSizeMB setting

Before deployment, ensure the VMFS3.MaxHeapSizeMB setting on the ESXi server is sufficient to support the total open virtual disk capacity.

In ESXi 5.1 the maximum heap size is 256 MB. This allows a maximum of 25 TB of open storage per ESXi host.

To adjust the maximum values of VMFS heap:

1.

Log into vCenter Server or the ESXi/ESX host using the vSphere Client or VMware Infrastructure

(VI) Client. If connecting to vCenter Server, select the ESXi/ESX host from the inventory.

2.

Click the Configuration tab.

3.

Click Advanced Settings.

StoreOnce VSA system requirements 7

4.

Click VMFS3.

5.

Update the field in VMFS3.MaxHeapSizeMB.

In ESXi 5.1 Update 1, the maximum heap size is 640 MB. This allows a maximum of 60 TB of open storage per ESXi host.

In vSphere 5.5, VMware introduces a much improved heap eviction process and there is no need for the larger heap size, which consumes memory. vSphere 5.5, with a maximum of 256MB of heap, enables vSphere hosts to access all the address space of a 64TB VMFS. Refer to http:// www.vmware.com/files/pdf/vsphere/VMware-vSphere-Platform-Whats-New.pdf

for more details.

Supported datastores on Hyper-V

StoreOnce VSA is supported on NTFS file system based storage.

Hyper-V does not support NFS datastores. Hyper-V VSA is also not supported on pass-through disks and ReFS based storage.

Supported server and network adapter configurations with Hyper-V

It has been observed that sometimes Hyper-V 2012 R2 virtual machines lose network connectivity; this depends on the server and network card models being used. More information can be found on these in the Troubleshooting section in the HP StoreOnce VSA Deployment and Configuration

guide. As a general guideline, StoreOnce VSA has been tested on the following configurations.

Platform

HP ProLiant G8 Intel CPU + Emulex network card

HP ProLiant G8 Intel CPU + Broadcom network card

HP ProLiant G8 AMD CPU + Emulex network card

HP ProLiant G8 AMD CPU + Broadcom network card

Recommendations

Recommended configuration

Most of the connectivity issues have been seen on HP Proliant G8 AMD CPU + Emulex network adapter configuration, and it is recommended to avoid using this combination.

AMD Platform NUMA Settings (Hyper-V only)

With Hyper-V server on AMD based hardware, please review the virtual NUMA settings before deploying the StoreOnce VSA.

Once the VSA is deployed on Hyper-V, check the settings of the virtual machine for virtual NUMA.

In the following example, the virtual NUMA node has a RAM of 31542 MB, which is less than

32768 MB (32 GB) that was allocated to the VSA. In this case, the VSA does not boot up properly.

This applies to any virtual machine in general. For more information, please refer to the Microsoft documentation, How to Configure Virtual NUMA for VMM, at http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/ library/jj614459.aspx

.

8 Introduction

In the following example, the RAM value was increased to 32768 MB, so that the VSA boots up and is configured properly.

Deployment overview

Steps

1.

Download the StoreOnce package to the correct folder.

2.

Notes

See

Before you start deployment (page 10) .

Based on your hypervisor environment, decide which deployment option to use and make sure all prerequisites are met. Make sure you have all networking information available before you start.

See

Deployment on Microsoft Hyper-V (page 17)

or

Deployment on VMware vSphere (page 33) .

Both installation methods deploy a 50 GB Thin Provisioned virtual disk for the StoreOnce VSA (the datastore requires a minimum of 50 GB free space). Deployment on both VMware and Hyper-V requires you to create and add the data virtual disks (1 TB) manually and power on the StoreOnce VSA.

3.

Decide how much backup capacity will be required. Create and add additional 1 TB disks to enable this capacity, up to a total of 4 or 10, depending upon the license applied.

It is possible to increase initial storage from 1 TB (up to 4 TB or 10 TB in 1 TB increments).

See the relevant deployment chapter for more information about increasing storage after deployment.

If you intend to increase storage, you may also need to increase and reserve memory for the Storeonce VSA, as described in

To increase virtual memory for optimal performance (page 47) .

4.

License the StoreOnce VSA.

5.

Read the supporting documentation for using the

StoreOnce VSA.

At deployment a 60-day Instant-On license is applied, which enables all StoreOnce VSA features. This license should be replaced with a purchased license to enable use of these features beyond 60 days.

The Instant-On license enables you to add storage up to the full capacity of 10 TB. If you intend to install a 4 TB product license at the end of the trial period, please make sure that the storage on the VSA does not increase beyond 4 TB during the Instant-On period.

NOTE: Backup targets become read-only if a purchased license is not applied within 60 days. They revert to read-write targets as soon as the purchased license is applied.

Use the serial number of the StoreOnce VSA to obtain a purchased license to use from the HP Webware site as described in

Licensing (page 15)

, and apply the license as described in the relevant deployment chapter.

Once installed HP StoreOnce VSA will be visible in vSphere client on the ESXi server or in Hyper-V. It will also be accessible via the StoreOnce GUI and Command Line Interface (CLI) .

For details of available documentation see

For more information (page 14) .

Deployment overview 13

Logging on to the StoreOnce VSA after deployment

All backup targets and StoreOnce Replication and Catalyst copy functions are configured and managed from the StoreOnce GUI or CLI.

To log on to the StoreOnce VSA after deployment simply connect to the StoreOnce Management

Console from any machine connected to the network using the host name or IP address that you specified for the StoreOnce VSA during deployment. You may use the StoreOnce GUI or Command

Line Interface (CLI) to access the StoreOnce Management Console.

StoreOnce Web GUI: https:<ip_address> or <Fully_Qualified_Domain_Name>

At the Login screen enter your user name and password.

StoreOnce CLI: Access the StoreOnce CLI from an ssh terminal using an SSH client application

(freely available on the Internet): ssh <username>@<ip_address>

You will be prompted to enter a password.

NOTE: After deployment, the default Admin user name and password is Admin, admin.

HPresetpassword account

In addition to the two default passwords that are created at installation, there is an HPresetpassword user account, which can only be used via the local console or via the iLO remote console. The purpose of this account is to provide a user account with the ability to access the HP StoreOnce

Backup system in order to reset the Admin user password to the factory default. This user account does not provide any access to StoreOnce functions or data that may already be on the system.

14 Introduction

Licensing

For StoreOnce VSA a single license key enables the appliance and the StoreOnce Catalyst,

Replication and Security features. At deployment an instant-on license is automatically applied that is valid for 60 days. During this 60 day period a purchased license must be applied. If not, at the end of the 60–day period the configured backup targets become read-only. All backups written are accessible but additional backups cannot be written. The read-write status is restored as soon as the purchased license is applied. There are no time constraints on when the purchased license may be applied. The purchased license is a 3-year user license.

The StoreOnce VSA GUI advises how many days are left until the license expires; this is updated daily. The following example is from the Events page of the StoreOnce VSA GUI.

On expiry of an instant-on license after 60 days, the following message is displayed in the Events page on the StoreOnce VSA GUI, “StoreOnce Instant-on license expired.”

In order to redeem the unique license for your HP StoreOnce VSA you require the Entitlement Order

Number (EON) on the email or letter received when you purchased StoreOnce VSA and the appliance Serial Number. This appliance Serial Number is unique to the HP StoreOnce VSA and is created during the installation process.

StoreOnce serial numbers

When redeeming licenses for the StoreOnce VSA, the HP licensing portal will ask for a UUID (a unique identifier with which a license is generated). The Serial Number is the UUID for the StoreOnce

VSA. and you can locate the number using the StoreOnce GUI. The number you should use is the

Serial Number (highlighted in the example below) that can be found on the Status page of the

GUI.

Licensing 15

It can also be obtained using the following StoreOnce CLI command and response sequence.

# system show config

System ID : HP1259312EFF

Description : HP1259312EFF

Product Class : HP StoreOnce VSA Software

Hardware Type : Virtual

CLI output : text

Page control : On

NOTE: Remove the HP prefix from the System ID to obtain the value you require for the Serial

Number; 1259312EFF in the above example.

To redeem a purchased license

1.

Use one of the methods in the previous section to identify the serial number of the StoreOnce

VSA.

2.

Go to the Licensing web site at http://www.webware.hp.com

and follow the instructions to generate the license to use (LTU) for the StoreOnce VSA. You will need the entitlement number on the email or letter received when you purchased StoreOnce VSA.

HP recommends that you select the option to save the license to a .DAT file.

The file can also be emailed to the registered license owner's email address or you can use Cut and Paste to copy it to a temporary file (for example to a text file).

3.

If you save the license as a file, sftp it into the HP StoreOnce VSA system's repository directory.

Ensure the File Protocol is set to SFTP, not SCP.

Login to the StoreOnce VSA as a user with Admin rights.

FTP <LTU>.dat to repository.

4.

Apply the license using one of the following StoreOnce CLI commands:

• license load <file-image>

: to load a license that has been saved as a file image.

The file image must exist in the Backup system's repository directory

• license add <string>

: to key in the license directly. If you used email or a temporary file, cut and paste the string exactly as you obtained it from the HP Licensing website.

Entering the license manually is not advised.

5.

Check that the license is installed using the StoreOnce CLI command: license show

See the HP StoreOnce Backup system CLI Reference Guide for more information.

16 Introduction

Introduction

This deployment option is available for experienced Windows Server 2012 administrators who wish to use one of the following Hyper-V options to deploy StoreOnce VSA 2.0 or later:

Microsoft Windows Server 2012 R2 with Hyper-V role enabled: This is a standard Windows

2012 R2 OS installation on a physical server; the Hyper-V role enables users to create and manage virtual machines, such as HP StoreOnce VSA.

Microsoft Hyper-v 2012 R2 core installation: This is a minimal server installation with required roles and features to support Hyper-V.

NOTE: See

Before you start deployment (page 10)

for information about downloading the

StoreOnce VSA package and the files that it contains. Always read the release notes provided within the package for the most up-to-date information and instructions.

Deployment and configuration using the Microsoft Hyper-V Manager wizard

Deployment process

1.

Extract the storeoncevsa-764490-B21-<software-version>.vhd.zip file. The extracted file is of 50 GB in size and contains the system disk image for the VSA. The extraction process takes approximately 15 minutes.

2.

The ZIP file also contains a MD5 checksum for the VHD (virtual hard disk). Once extracted, this checksum can be verified against the one present in the HyperV-VSA directory to ensure the validity of the VHD.

3.

Once the extraction is complete on the Windows server, go to Start. Type Hyper-V Manager to open a search window automatically. Click on Hyper-V Manager to display a screen similar to the following.

IP addresses see

To amend the network configuration after deployment (page 46) .

NOTE: If there is a heavy load on the Hyper-V server, the StoreOnce services on the VSA may take a long time to come up and the Instant On license application fails. If this happens, use the StoreOnce CLI commands as follows:

Use the license show command to check if an Instant On license is installed.

If not, use the license add demo command to add the Instant On license.

This will enable StoreOnce Replication and Catalyst on the VSA for a period of 60 days.

NOTE: If the system is not able to assign a valid DHCP address, the service set will be in a failed to start state. This must be resolved or a static IP address configured. Reboot the

StoreOnce VSA to bring the service set online.

28 Deployment on Microsoft Hyper-V

Deployment using HP StoreOnce VSA Hyper-V PowerShell Installer

StoreOnce VSA on Hyper-V offers another method of deployment and configuration using a

PowerShell script provided by HP. This method offers the following advantages:

Hyper-V Manager requirements

Hyper-V Manager requires you to unzip the VHD.ZIP

manually before starting the deployment.

Benefits of the PowerShell installer

The PowerShell script does the unzipping as part of the deployment.

The number of processors must be manually changed from

1 to 4.

The PowerShell script has this value pre-configured.

Hyper-V Manager only offers selection of the virtual switch but no step to configure the network settings on the VSA.

The PowerShell script provides options to configure DHCP or static network on one or both the network interfaces.

To run the Hyper-V PowerShell Installer script

The HP StoreOnce VSA Hyper-V PowerShell Installer script is part of the package. To run this script, right click on the script and select Run with PowerShell. A screen similar to the following appears:

This displays the minimum virtual hardware requirements of the VSA that will be pre-configured while deploying the VSA. The script takes you through the steps described in the next section.

To create a VSA

1.

Enter the directory where the VHD.ZIP is located.

Deployment using HP StoreOnce VSA Hyper-V PowerShell Installer 29

2.

The script displays the available ZIP files in the entered directory, select the appropriate ZIP to proceed.

3.

Enter the directory where the VSA Image should be created.

4.

Enter the name that you wish to use for the StoreOnce VSA virtual machine.

5.

The script configures the folder and files. It then prompts to configure eth0 for the network.

Enter Y to continue with the network configuration. (If you wish to configure the network after deployment using StoreOnce CLI commands, enter S to skip network configuration.)

30 Deployment on Microsoft Hyper-V

6.

Choose the IP Configuration mode: DHCP or Static. If you select Static, you will be prompted to provide IP address details.

Select the required VM Switch.

(In our example only one VM switch is available and it has been configured with the name

Management Switch.)

If required, repeat the above steps to configure eth1.

7.

If required, configure up to three DNS servers.

8.

The script completes the installation process, saving configuration files, creating the ISO image, and extracting and unpacking the VHD.

Deployment using HP StoreOnce VSA Hyper-V PowerShell Installer 31

9.

After the VSA image is uncompressed and the deployment completes, the script displays a message that the VSA was successfully deployed. At this stage the status of the VSA is Off.

3 Deployment on VMware vSphere

Introduction

This deployment option is available for VMware administrators using vSphere client or vSphere web client.

Before you start

This deployment method requires you to ensure that all deployment pre-requisites have been met; there are no in-built checks within the deployment process. For more details, refer to

StoreOnce

VSA system requirements (page 7)

and make sure you have downloaded the latest StoreOnceVSA

OVF package to a network location where it can be accessed by the vSphere client. (For optimum performance, download the StoreOnce OVF package to the vSphere client machine.)

Before starting the process make sure you that you have available a datastore with a minimum of

1 TB free space and that you know the name of the virtual network on which the StoreOnce VSA is to be deployed.

NOTE: Deployment is allowed only through a vCenter connection and not directly through an

ESX host connection.

NOTE: The deployment creates the Thin Provisioned virtual disk for the operating system.

See the next section for more information about creating virtual disks for storage after deployment.

12. The deployment process can take up to 15 minutes to complete, depending on the datastore selected and how heavily loaded it is. It may take longer if the vSphere client is accessing the

StoreOnceVSA_OVF file across the network. During deployment a progress meter is displayed.

13. The HP StoreOnce VSA is now added to vSphere Client

To create virtual disks for the StoreOnce VSA

After deployment you must use vSphere client to create the 1 TB virtual disk(s) for storage. If you do this before you power on the StoreOnce VSA, the total storage will be made available to the

StoreOnce VSA automatically after power on.

IMPORTANT: The StoreOnce VSA supports up to 10 x 1 TB virtual disks. If you experience a reduction in performance when you increase storage, you should also increase resources and reboot the HP StoreOnce VSA, as described in

Configuration options for StoreOnce VSA (page 45)

.

To create virtual disks for the StoreOnce VSA 39

To create a 1 TB virtual disk

NOTE: If you create virtual disks before power on, the first boot script incorporates the commands to prepare and add the storage to the StoreOnce VSA. If you create virtual disks after power on, you must apply the StoreOnce CLI commands manually, as described in

10. The process is now complete for the first virtual disk. To create additional virtual disks, repeat the process.

If powering on the StoreOnce VSA for the first time, the total storage will be made available to the StoreOnce VSA automatically, and the Instant-On license applied.

If the StoreOnce VSA has already been powered on, use StoreOnce CLI commands, as described in the next section, to prepare and add storage to the StoreOnce VSA. Use the StoreOnce CLI command, system show status, as described in the next section to check progress, and when complete, manually reboot the VSA, using the StoreOnce

CLI command, system reboot.

NOTE: If the VMWare server is quite loaded, the StoreOnce services on the VSA may take a long time to come up and the Instant On license application fails. If this happens, use the

StoreOnce CLI commands as follows:

Use the license show command to check if an Instant On license is installed.

If not, use the license add demo command to add the Instant On license. This will enable StoreOnce Replication and Catalyst on the VSA for a period of 60 days.

4 Configuration options for StoreOnce VSA

To prepare and add storage using the StoreOnce CLI

This process prepares and adds all available storage and is required if you create virtual disks after the StoreOnce VSA has been powered on. You are recommended to create as many virtual disks as required before adding them to the StoreOnce VSA .

NOTE: There are two StoreOnce CLI commands that may be used to prepare storage; they both carry out the same function: hardware prepare storage and hardware discover storage

.

1.

Use a ssh session to connect to the StoreOnce VSA Management Console as an Admin user

(or use a ssh client application, such as PuTTY, which is freely available from the internet.) ssh <username>@<ip_address>UserName: AdminPassword: Admin

2.

Use the following commands to prepare and add the storage: hardware discover storage hardware add storage

3.

While the above commands complete, use the following StoreOnce CLI command to check the current status on the storage addition. In this example, 4 TB is already formatted/configured and 1 TB is currently being added.

# system show status

Status

------

Formatted 4,045.55GB, Adding 1,452GB...

Service Sets Status Notes

------------ ------ -----

Set 1 Running

IMPORTANT: If you add invalid virtual disks of capacity less than or greater than 1 TB the

StoreOnce CLI commands, hardware prepare storage and hardware discover storage

, will fail with an error and you must remove the invalid virtual disks from the vSphere

Client or Hyper-V Manager and reboot the StoreOnce VSA for any further storage addition.

See

Troubleshooting (page 53)

for example output if these commands fail.

4.

Exit the StoreOnce CLI.

To apply the license using StoreOnce CLI commands

You can only apply the full—term license using StoreOnce CLI commands. (The Instant On license is applied during StoreOnce VSA deployment.)

Run the StoreOnce VSA GUI to obtain the product's serial number (System ID on the StoreOnce page). Follow the instructions in

Licensing (page 15)

to acquire a unique license using the serial product number. We recommend that you save the license string to a file, which should be saved to the StoreOnce Backup system's repository directory.

1.

Use a ssh session to connect to the StoreOnce VSA Management Console as an Admin user

(or use a ssh client application, such as PuTTY, which is freely available from the internet.) ssh <username>@<ip_address>

NOTE: The IP address is the address that you provided for the Host/Cluster step of deployment. The Admin user name and password is Admin/admin.

To prepare and add storage using the StoreOnce CLI 45

2.

Apply the license using one of the following StoreOnce CLI commands:

• license load <file-image>

: to load a license that has been saved as a file image.

The file image must exist in the Backup system's repository directory.

• license add <string> to key in the license directly. If you used email or a temporary file, cut and paste the string exactly as you obtained it from the HP Licensing website.

Entering the license manually is not advised.

3.

Exit the StoreOnce CLI.

To amend the network configuration after deployment

There are two options for amending network configuration after deployment. Both use StoreOnce

CLI commands.

Use the StoreOnce CLI command, net set wizard. This option provides a wizard that guides you through the network configuration, ensuring that you provide all the required information.

Use StoreOnce CLI commands to create, validate and activate a new configuration, or to modify or add to an existing configuration. These commands are beyond the scope of this guide and are described in full in the HP StoreOnce Backup system CLI Reference Guide. See

Related information (page 69)

.

To check the current configuration

The default deployment is DHCP. To ascertain which address has been assigned, use the net show config all command. See the HP StoreOnce Backup system CLI reference guide for further details.

To run the net set wizard

1.

To run the wizard, using puTTY (or other ssh application), log into the StoreOnce CLI.

2.

Enter the command: net set wizard

3.

Follow the instructions provided in the wizard text. Prompts appear in the following sequence.

Step 1: DNS addresses (optional)

Step 2: Subnet configuration. The prompts displayed in this section will vary depending upon the responses you make to the prompts for your network configuration. It is at the end of this step that you are given the opportunity of configuring a second subnet.

NOTE: Do not use the StoreOnce CLI to configure VLAN tagging with Hyper-V. See also

VLAN tagging on Hyper-V (page 60)

.

Step 3: Network configuration summary. The final step provides network configuration details. If you are satisfied that the network is configured correctly, key 1 to finish the wizard and apply the settings.

4.

Your network is now configured and you can access the HP StoreOnce Backup system remotely via the StoreOnce GUI or StoreOnce CLI. Be sure to save a copy of the configuration, as described in the HP StoreOnce Backup system user guide. If you need to make subsequent changes to the network configuration, use the StoreOnce CLI, as described in the HP StoreOnce

CLI Reference Guide.

46 Configuration options for StoreOnce VSA

.

To activate licenses

On upgrade from VSA 1.x to 2.0, the existing 3–year support license is removed from the StoreOnce

VSA. It is recommended that the Instant-On license is applied in the first instance and any remaining time on the existing license can be re-instated as described below.

1.

After a successful software update the StoreOnce VSA reboots.. When the services come up, log into the StoreOnce CLI and run the StoreOnce CLI command, license add demo.

This command enables a 60 day all-in-one Instant-On license, as described in

Licensing (page 15)

.

2.

During the 60 day period, contact the HP Webware licensing portal with the serial number of the StoreOnce VSA. A product license key is provided, which will enable the StoreOnce

VSA for the remaining length of the 3–year license term. See

Deployment Problems

StoreOnce VSA power-on fails after deployment

Cause

The ESXi or Hyper-V host on which the StoreOnce VSA was deployed has insufficient resources.

Solution

Check the ESXi or Hyper-V host and make sure it meets the minimum resource requirements for the

StoreOnce VSA, see

StoreOnce VSA system requirements (page 7) .

GUI displays blank and ‘system show status’ shows Service Set is unavailable / in a Failed to Start state

Cause

This can occur for a variety of reasons:

The StoreOnce VSA is powered on after deployment without adding any data vDisks

In this scenario, the application of instant-on license will fail rendering the service set as unavailable. A “StoreOnce Instant-on license not installed” alert is generated on the GUI.

The network configuration is not complete or has failed.

HP-SMB fails to start if the network is not configured with a valid ipv4 address. The service set will be in a ‘Failed to start’ state. As a result, the instant-on license is also not applied.

Solution

If data vdisks have not been added, create/add virtual disks using the vSphere Client or

Hyper-V Manager.

Run the StoreOnce CLI commands to add storage, as described in Chapter 3.

Reboot the StoreOnce VSA to enable instant-on licensing.

Ensure the StoreOnce VSA is configured with a valid ipv4 address.

If not, choose the appropriate destination network mapping.

If you wish to configure an IP by DHCP.

Choose the right network connection (as shown above) and REBOOT the StoreOnce VSA.

54 Troubleshooting

The network will be configured with a valid ipv4 address, instant-on license enabled and service sets started.

If you wish to configure a static IP:

Use the StoreOnce CLI command, net set wizard. See

To amend the network configuration after deployment (page 46) .

Once the static IP is assigned, reboot the StoreOnce VSA to enable the instant-on license.

Deployment Problems 55

Storage addition problems

When adding storage to the StoreOnce VSA, the following guidelines apply:

Always allow the StoreOnce CLI command, hardware discover storage, to complete before running the command, hardware add storage.

NOTE: There are two StoreOnce CLI commands that perform the same function: hardware discover storage and hardware prepare storage. The same comments apply to both.

If you add 1 TB data vdisks to the StoreOnce VSA and reboot it, the disks will be automatically discovered by the StoreOnce VSA. This means there is no need to run the StoreOnce CLI command, hardware discover storage. But you must still run the command, hardware add storage

.

Do NOT remove any of the data vdisks from the StoreOnce VSA while or after executing the

StoreOnce CLI command, hardware add storage. This may lead to an unstable VSA and even data loss.

Also note that:

If you wish to re-configure the storage on the VSA, use the StoreOnce hardware delete storage ALL command. This will delete all the data and the entire file system on the

VSA. To create a new file system, you may remove virtual disks, reboot the StoreOnce

VSA and present new virtual disks, and rerun the StoreOnce storage CLI commands. After re-configuring the storage and file system on the VSA, wait for a maximum of one hour to activate the license automatically back on the VSA.

You should never remove or delete a VSA data vdisk that is already a part of the VSA file system.

The hardware delete storage node1_logicaldisk_1 command is not supported on the VSA.

hardware discover storage / hardware prepare storage StoreOnce CLI command fails

While adding new data vdisks to the StoreOnce VSA, the StoreOnce CLI command hardware discover storage

(or hardware prepare storage) may produce the following error:

Error: Storage provisioning was unable to complete the requested operation [Incorrect virtual disk size]

This command takes several minutes to complete execution.

Storage provisioning was unable to complete the requested operation [Incorrect virtual disk sizes]

Command Failed –

Cause

This can occur when data vdisks of incorrect size are added to the StoreOnce VSA. Virtual disks added for user data must ALWAYS be 1 TB in size.

Solution

Delete all data disks which are not 1 TB in size from the StoreOnce VSA using vSphere Client.

Add the data vdisks again, making sure each is 1 TB.

Reboot the StoreOnce VSA.

Run the StoreOnce CLI command, hardware add storage.

56 Troubleshooting

NOTE: On Hyper-V, hardware prepare/discover storage command may throw up the following error messages: device-mapper: table: 253:0: multipath: error getting device device-mapper: ioctl: error adding target to table

These error messages can be safely ignored.

Error running system show status

The StoreOnce CLI command, system show status, displays an additional size for the

"Discovered" storage size.

This is a known issue with the StoreOnce VSA and does not affect device performance or behavior.

# system show status

------

Formatted 4,045.55GB, Adding 1,452GB...

Service Sets Status Notes

------------ ------ -----

Set 1 Running

Data vdisks not recognized when executing the StoreOnce CLI storage addition commands

Cause

The data virtual disks added are assigned to different SCSI controllers.

Solution

If the data disks have been assigned to different SCSI controllers, a reboot of the StoreOnce VSA is required to recognize them.

Once rebooted, run the StoreOnce CLI command, hardware add storage to add storage.

Storage addition problems 57

License alerts and issues

IMPORTANT: Always ensure that the StoreOnce VSA has the correct date and time settings before generating and applying licenses to the StoreOnce VSA.

StoreOnce Instant-on license not installed alert

If the Instant-on license is not enabled in the StoreOnce VSA after deployment, the StoreOnce GUI generates an alert with the message “StoreOnce Instant-on license not installed”.

Refer to

GUI displays blank and ‘system show status’ shows Service Set is unavailable / in a Failed to Start state (page 54) .

StoreOnce Instant-on license expired alert

An alert may also be generated in the StoreOnce GUI with the message “StoreOnce Instant-on license expired”.

Cause

The 60 days instant-on license period has expired on the StoreOnce VSA and a purchased license is not applied.

Solution

Purchase a full product license for the StoreOnce VSA and install it using the StoreOnce CLI commands, as described in

To apply the license using Storeonce CLI commands (page 45) .

Backup jobs fail with backup target size full error with Storage Report on GUI showing

Free Space and Used Space as 0 GB

Backup jobs will fail with a backup target size full error if the VSA backup targets become read-only.

Cause

The 60 days instant-on license period has expired on the StoreOnce VSA and a purchased license is not applied resulting in Target devices on the VSA (VTLs, NAS shares/ Catalyst Object stores) becoming read-only.

Solution

Use the StoreOnce CLI to check the license status. If the license has expired, purchase a full product license for the StoreOnce VSA and install it using the StoreOnce CLI commandsI, as described earlier in this guide. Addition of the purchased license will put the backup targets back into read/write mode.

License addition fails with error “Invalid Device ID”

Cause

The license key applied is not valid for the StoreOnce VSA.

Solution

Make sure the license is generated using the correct “Serial Number” of the StoreOnce VSA to which the license will be applied. The “Serial Number” for the StoreOnce VSA can be obtained from the StoreOnce GUI Status page.

58 Troubleshooting

Instant-on license validity or number of days remaining is reduced

Cause

If you change the date settings on the StoreOnce VSA to an older date, the instant-on license validity period may be reduced because the corresponding number of additional days are deducted from it.

Solution

Do not move the date backwards once the instant-on license has been installed on the StoreOnce

VSA. This will result in the deducting of the corresponding number of days from the license validity period.

The system date should be set on the StoreOnce VSA based on the ESXi server date. Always set your ESXi server date correctly before deploying a StoreOnce VSA.

The VSA powers off after every power-on

Cause

This behavior will be seen when the following operations are performed in vSphere:

If the VSA is a clone/copy of another VSA.

If the VSA was deployed from a VM template.

During ESXi server upgrade, the VSA was marked as clone or a copy

Solution

Make sure the StoreOnce VSA was not cloned or copied from another StoreOnce VSA. If it has been copied or cloned, it does not have a valid license. Please deploy a new StoreOnce VSA through vSphere or Hyper-V Manager.

License transfer is required

It is possible to reclaim the purchased license from a crashed StoreOnce VSA or move the license from one StoreOnce VSA to another.

Please contact the HP licensing support team to move a license from a crashed StoreOnce VSA to a new StoreOnce VSA.

License alerts and issues 59

Network problems

Unable to access VSA over the network when default port —eth0 goes down

Cause

Eth0 is set the as default primary IP for the StoreOnce VSA. When Eth0 goes down in the StoreOnce

VSA, Eth1 also becomes unavailable. Eth1 does not automatically get switched to the default state when Eth0 goes down.

Solution

From the vSphere Client, access the VSA console using the ‘Open Console’ option.

Login using Admin/admin and use StoreOnce CLI commands to enable the Eth1 subnet with the default “yes” option.

You can use the StoreOnce net set wizard, or net create config and net activate config

CLI commands. See the HP StoreOnce Backup system CLI Reference guide for more details

VLAN Tagging on Hyper-V

Do not use StoreOnce VSA CLI commands to configure VLAN tagging on Hyper-V. These do not have an effect on the VSA. To configure the VLAN, use the Hyper-V virtual machine settings to provide the VLAN tag id. An example is shown below. This configures the virtual machine in VLAN with a tag id 28. Please refer to the Microsoft Hyper-V documentation for more details.

60 Troubleshooting

StoreOnce VSA on Hyper-V losing connectivity frequently

It is a known issue that virtual machines on Hyper-V may lose connectivity on the virtual network.

This has been acknowledged in the link below: http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/windowsserver/en-US/ c87623da-453c-407a-ae99-611274f16b80/vms-disconnecting-from-network?

forum=winserverhyperv

The workaround suggested by the forum is to disable VMQ on the network adaptors on the Hyper-V hosts. Along with this, Microsoft suggests to install the hotfix 2913659 on the Windows Server

2012 R2 Hyper-V host to overcome this issue.

http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2913659 .

Please contact your Hyper-V network administrator for further details.

Network problems 61

StoreOnce VSA hanging in 'Stopping' or 'Stopping-Critical' or 'Paused' state

It is observed that virtual machines on Hyper-V sometimes hang in a 'Stopping' or 'Stopping-Critical' or 'Paused' state. Please refer to the appropriate Microsoft Hyper-V 2012 R2 documentation to find the resolution.

62 Troubleshooting

Performance problems

A number of factors can negatively affect StoreOnce VSA performance in the ESXi environment.

Always make sure the virtual resources of the ESXi servers on which StoreOnce VSAs are deployed and the datastores used by StoreOnce VSAs are not in a over-committing state.

VSA writes and reads are slower in ESXi SAN environments

Cause

The memory and CPU resources allocated to the StoreOnce VSA may be less than the minimum requirements of the VSA.

Solution

Make sure the VSA virtual resources are set to meet the minimum requirements of the VSA, see

StoreOnce VSA system requirements (page 7)

.

Also, make sure the virtual resources assigned to the VSA are reserved, see

To increase virtual memory for optimal performance (page 47) .

To make sure the ESXi SAN environment is set up correctly, refer to the VMware troubleshooting guides.

Performance problems 63

Power issues

The VSA service set goes down and file system becomes read-only

The VSA service set goes down and file system becomes read-only when external ESXi storage

LUNs are disconnected from the server.

Cause

This behavior may be seen when the connection to the ESXi storage is lost and recovered while the VSA is powered on and running.

Solution

The StoreOnce VSA may become unresponsive in this case. Contact HP Support for assistance at http://www.hp.com/support .

IMPORTANT: Do not reboot or shutdown the VSA when any storage operation is in progress.

Use the StoreOnce CLI command, system show status, to verify that storage addition is completed and the storage is formatted before any shutdown or reboot operation. An uncontrolled shutdown/reboot/power outage may result in file system inconsistencies.

Backup jobs on VTLs fail after power shutdown

Cause

This behavior may be caused due to various reasons.

Solution

The VTL should be displayed in a “Connected” state on the StoreOnce GUI when the StoreOnce

VSA is powered on.

If it is in a “Not Connected" state, try the following steps:

1.

Login to the ISCSI Initiator of your Client and remove the current StoreOnce VSA.

2.

After removing the StoreOnce VSA from the iSCSI initiator, re-discover it through the ISCI initiator and try connecting the robotics medium changer and VSA drives.

3.

Login to the StoreOnce GUI and check that the status of the library is connected

For NetBackup, please follow these additional steps:

1.

Use NetBackup to remove drives for the library (only the drives and not the robot).

2.

Restart NetBackup Device Manager.

3.

Create the drives manually for the library on top of the existing robot.

4.

Restart NetBackup Device Manager.

5.

Restart failed jobs again.

Repeat the steps above if the issue reoccurs.

64 Troubleshooting

Miscellaneous issues

Operations such as power-off, power-on, and storage addition on the StoreOnce

VSA may fail when using vSphere with the message: <File [unspecified file name] not found>

Cause

This behavior may happen when the vmdk descriptor file for the StoreOnce VSA is corrupt or missing or locked. This vmdk file corruption may also be caused by frequently changing the name of the StoreOnce VSA through vSphere GUI. .

Solution

Please refer to VMware troubleshooting documents on this issue. Search the VMware knowledge base on Verifying ESX/ESXi virtual machine file integrity (1003743) to find suggestions for resolving the issue.

All VSAs/VMs on the ESXi server become unresponsive and all operations on

StoreOnce VSAs fail

Cause

The ESXi server’s VMFS file system heap size is not set to the maximum value. When total storage provisioned to the VMs/VSAs on the ESXi server exceeds the limit that a certain heap size setting on the server can manage, the VMs on the ESXi server become unresponsive.

Solution

The heap size variable for the ESXi server should be set to a maximum (640 MB) allowing smooth handling of VMDKs up to 60 TB. Make sure the ESXi servers are updated to the latest patches released by VMware. Please refer to VMware Knowledge base - article ID : 1004424. See also

VMFS3.MaxHeapSizeMB setting (page 7) .

Emails are not sent to configured accounts

The StoreOnce GUI is used to configure SMTP and email recipients for alerts, warnings and errors.

Cause

This may be a domain name resolution issue, when the SMTP server is represented by a domain name.

Solution

Set up the Email configuration using the SMTP server IP address instead of the fully qualified domain name.

Adding/deleting replication targets fail with error “Maximum no. of sessions reached”

Cause

This behavior is seen when the fan-out limit on the StoreOnce VSA is reached.

The StoreOnce VSA requires additional time to delete configuration information on the deleted target appliance and enable the addition of a new target device.

This behavior is intermittent and is not seen always.

Miscellaneous issues 65

Solution

Wait for 10-15 minutes between the deletion of one target appliance and the addition of another target appliance.

Time settings are reset when the StoreOnce VSA is rebooted

Cause

This is a known StoreOnce VSA issue, and occurs because this is a software defined system with no hardware of its own.

Solution

Always sync the StoreOnce VSA time with the ESXi host server automatically. Use the vSphere GUI to enable the synchronize guest time with host option on the StoreOnce VSA under Edit Settings

-> Option -> VMware Tools.

Make sure your ESXi host server has the correct time and date settings.

A fifth VT library gets created in the StoreOnceVSA automatically when the iSCSI initiator attached to the StoreOnce VSA is reset or refreshed

Cause

As a feature, the Auto Creation functionality in VTL automatically creates a library on the StoreOnce

VSA, when the iSCSI initiator attached to it is reset or refreshed. Even though the maximum number of targets (VT libraries or CIFS shares or Catalyst Stores) on the VSA is 4 the Auto Create option creates a fifth library with an “Unknown” state.

Solution

You will not be able to use this fifth library. This behavior does not affect any of the other existing targets or data on the VSA. It is recommended to delete this “Unknown” library and proceed with normal operations.

It is recommended to disable the Auto Create feature in the StoreOnce VSA GUI, as described in the HP StoreOnce VSA user guide.

Logs for the StoreOnce VSA

For the StoreOnce VSA use the StoreOnce GUI to generate support tickets to obtain all required logs on the VSA. See the HP StoreOnce VSA user guide for details.

For VMware VCenter/ESXi server logs please refer to VMware knowledge base.

Managing and resetting the password for the HPresetpassword account

The HPresetpassword account provides a method for the local Admin user to recover the default password. This account with the username, HPresetpassword, is only available from the StoreOnce

CLI and it allows this user to log in via the local vSphere console and change:

The local Admin account back to its factory default password (admin)

The password of the HPresetpassword account.

This account is not accessible via a remote ssh session.

IMPORTANT: It is strongly recommended that the password for the HPresetpassword account is changed immediately after installation. The new password should be strong and memorable.

66 Troubleshooting

To change the password for the HPresetpassword account

1.

Gain access to the local system console either using a locally attached USB keyboard and

Monitor or via the iLO remote console.

2.

At the Login prompt type:

HPresetpassword

3.

When prompted for the password enter: hpresetpassword

4.

Once logged in a list of available commands will be presented.

5.

Run the command manage to change the password for the HPresetpassword user. At the prompts provide:

(current) UNIX password: the default at installation is hpresetpassword

New UNIX password: the new password should be strong and memorable; it will not be accepted if it is weak, for example a dictionary name

Retype new UNIX password: re-enter the new password to confirm it

6.

Type exit to log out.

7.

Store the new password securely in an offline Password Security tool.

To reset the password for the local Admin user

1.

Gain access to the local system console either using a locally attached USB keyboard and

Monitor or via iLO remote console.

2.

At the Login prompt type: HPresetpassword

3.

When prompted for the password enter the current password. The default is hpresetpassword, but if you are following best practices you will have changed this after installation.

4.

Once logged in a list of available commands will be presented.

5.

Type reset. This will immediately reset the default password of the Admin user to admin.

6.

Type exit to log out.

Reference to a couplet on the StoreOnce VSA GUI Events page

If the StoreOnce VSA GUI Events page refers to a couplet in one of the alert messages during start up, please ignore the message. A couplet is not applicable to the VSA because it is a single node appliance.

Reference to a couplet on the StoreOnce VSA GUI Events page 67

StoreOnce VSA console showing segmentation fault alert

The StoreOnce VSA console may sometimes give the following segmentation fault error while shutting down. This can be safely ignored as it does not harm any functionality or data stored on the VSA.
