NOTE: After adding a device for an HP StoreOnce device with firmware 3.6.0 or later, you must enter the user ID and password as authentication.

NOTE: Device additions can be completed by using a file or a Fully Qualified Domain Name (FQDN) of the StoreOnce IP address also. By using a file, you can add several StoreOnce devices all at once. To add by files, select Get IP address From File, and click the ... button to select the file containing IP addresses. To use the FQDN, select Fully Qualified Domain Name.

If you select the option to add a device with its FQDN, ensure the /etc/hosts file in the host system (HP StoreOnce Enterprise Manager) displays the entry for FQDN of the device to be added.

If you select the option to get IP addresses from a file, you must create a .txt file with the IPs of all the devices to be added. The authentication for the devices to be added should be provided only once.

4.Select the appropriate polling interval from the Polling Interval field.

The polling interval indicates how often the device is surveyed by the HP StoreOnce Enterprise Manager to determine and record or report its status.

5.Select or clear the box to indicate whether the system is to find the associated target and source devices.

If this box is selected, the HP StoreOnce Enterprise Manager searches for any target and source devices connected to the device being added, and also adds them to the system.

6.Select or clear the box to indicate whether the system is to search in the background.

If Search in Background is selected, other operations can be performed while devices are being added.

If Search in Background is not selected, the Progress Bar window appears until the devices are added successfully (or if the operation fails). Other operations cannot be performed while the devices are being added.
