As of SEP sesam v. [[Special:MyLanguage/SEP_sesam_Release_Versions|4.4.3 ''Beefalo'']], you can use Hewlett Packard Enterprise (HPE) StoreOnce Catalyst stores as a backup storage. HPE StoreOnce enables bandwidth efficient backup and restore over LAN, WAN and Fibre Channel. SEP sesam treats the StoreOnce Catalyst stores like any other devices. Note that before you configure a SEP sesam backup to StoreOnce Catalyst stores, your HPE StoreOnce backup appliance must be set up and all the requirements must be met (e.g., minimum supported version of HPE system), as described in [[Special:MyLanguage/4_4_3_Beefalo:HPE_StoreOnce_Configuration|HPE StoreOnce Configuration]].

For backing up to StoreOnce Catalyst store, follow the configuration steps below.
Configuring a backup to StoreOnce Catalyst store consists of the following steps:
#The HPE StoreOnce data store must already be configured; for details, see [[Special:MyLanguage/4_4_3_Beefalo:SEP_sesam_HPE_StoreOnce_Configuration#StoreOnce_store|SEP sesam HPE StoreOnce Configuration]]. Note that you cannot use HPE Cloud Bank store as a backup target; the HPE Cloud Bank storage is supported as a Catalyst copy target only.

Once your HPE StoreOnce appliance is set up and the Catalyst stores are created, you can configure the HPE StoreOnce data store in the GUI. SEP sesam HPE StoreOnce data store is a special device type used for writing savesets directly to HPE StoreOnce Catalyst stores.
After configuring a HPE StoreOnce data store, you have to create a media pool for backing up to HPE StoreOnce. Note that you can create the media pools before during a data store configuration by clicking the ''Create Media Pool'' button or later in the ''HPE StoreOnce data store properties'', as described here.
<ol><li>In the '''Main selection''' -> '''Components''', click '''Data Stores''' to display the data store contents frame.</li>
<li>From the ''Data Stores'' menu, select '''New Data Store'''. A ''New Data Store'' dialog appears.</li>

<li>From the '''Store type''' drop-down list, select '''HPE StoreOnce'''.</li>
<li>Make sure that the option '''Create Drive''' is checked under the ''Drive parameter'' properties. The predefined value for the drive is automatically added to the '''Drive number''' field.</li>
<li>Under the ''Drive group'' properties, select '''Create new drive group''' if you want to create a new drive group, for example, ''StoreOnce-store'', or select '''Use existing drive group''' to add a drive to one of the configured groups, available in the drop-down list.</li>
<li>The predefined number of channels is already displayed in the '''Max. channels''' drop-down list. The number of available channels depends on your SEP sesam Server package. The standard license supports 10 concurrent streams, enabling 10 backup processes to run simultaneously. For details on SEP sesam licenses, see [[Special:MyLanguage/Licensing|Licensing]].</li>

#Double-click the ''HPE StoreOnce data store'' and in the ''Properties'' window click '''Create Media Pool'''.
 
After configuring a StoreOnce data store, you have to configure at least two media pools in the StoreOnce data store properties. One pool is required for backups, while another is used as a clone for StoreOnce sync pools.

Docs latest icon.png Welcome to the latest SEP sesam documentation version 4.4.3 Beefalo. For previous documentation version(s), check documentation archive.


Overview

As of SEP sesam v. 4.4.3 Beefalo, you can use Hewlett Packard Enterprise (HPE) StoreOnce Catalyst stores as a backup storage. Before you configure a SEP sesam backup to StoreOnce Catalyst stores, your HPE StoreOnce backup appliance must be set up and all the requirements must be met (e.g., minimum supported version of HPE system), as described in HPE StoreOnce Configuration. Once your HPE StoreOnce appliance is set up and the Catalyst stores are created on the StoreOnce system, you have to configure the HPE StoreOnce data store(s) in the SEP sesam GUI. Then you can proceed with configuring your HPE StoreOnce backup.

Configuring backup to HPE StoreOnce

Configuring a backup to StoreOnce Catalyst store consists of the following steps:

  1. The HPE StoreOnce data store must already be configured; for details, see SEP sesam HPE StoreOnce Configuration. Note that you cannot use HPE Cloud Bank store as a backup target; the HPE Cloud Bank storage is supported as a Catalyst copy target only.
  2. Create a media pool for backup.
  3. Back up to HPE StoreOnce data store.

Creating a media pool for backup

After configuring a HPE StoreOnce data store, you have to create a media pool for backing up to HPE StoreOnce. Note that you can create the media pools before during a data store configuration by clicking the Create Media Pool button or later in the HPE StoreOnce data store properties, as described here.

  1. Double-click the HPE StoreOnce data store and in the Properties window click Create Media Pool.
  2. Enter a media pool name, for example, MP_StoreOnce-2_dly.
  3. Set up the Retention time for which the media from the pool are protected from writing (see Managing EOL).
    If you have set StoreOnce immutability (retention) period for your backups when creating the Catalyst stores, the data will be protected for the defined immutability period of time even if the SEP sesam EOL has expired. If the SEP sesam EOL is longer than the defined immutability period, the data will be protected as defined by SEP sesam. For details, see StoreOnce immutability period.

Backing up to HPE StoreOnce

Configuring a backup to HPE StoreOnce Catalyst store in the SEP sesam GUI involves creating a backup task, setting up a backup schedule (specifying when you want to back up your data) and linking the schedule to a backup event (specifying how and where to back up the data). For general details on backup configuration and prerequisites, see Standard Backup Procedure.

  1. From Main Selection -> Tasks -> By clients, select HPE StoreOnce client and click New backup task. The New backup task window opens.
  2. Specify the Source. You can either browse for the savesets that you want to include in the backup or enter their names followed by a comma. Note that by browsing the source (not entering it manually), the task type and task name are set automatically.
  3. HPE StoreOnce bck task.jpg
  4. If you want to define other options (such as pre/post backup and restore commands, set encryption or compress data, consolidate individual tasks under a specific task group, or assign a task to the schedule), click the corresponding tabs in the New backup task window.
    Click OK to create the task.
  5. If you want to start the newly created task immediately, right-click the name of the task and click Immediate Start. If you want to create a periodic backup, you have to create a schedule for your backup task: Click New schedule under Main Selection -> Scheduling -> Schedules and set up a schedule. For more details, see Creating a Schedule.
  6. SEP Tip.png Tip
    You can also add your backup task to an existing schedule by double-clicking the backup task, selecting the tab Schedules and adding it to one or more schedules. Additionally, you can group your backup tasks to task groups. For details, see Adding a Task to the Task Group.
  7. Once you have configured a schedule, you must create a new backup event for it. For general information on creating a backup event, see Creating a backup event.

You can view the status of your backup jobs by selecting Last backup state in the Main Selection window. The backup status overview provides detailed information on the last run of backup jobs, including the task name, start and stop time of the last backup, backup level, data size, throughput, assigned media pool, etc.
