The HPE StoreOnce 10GbE Network Expansion License (BB949A) is a software key that activates a 10GbE network port on compatible HPE StoreOnce appliances to accelerate backup and restore tasks.
Which HPE StoreOnce models support SKU BB949A?
The BB949A license is supported on HPE StoreOnce 3620, 3640, 5200, 5500, 5600, 6500 and Catalyst StoreOnce models running the latest StoreOnce OS.
How do I install the 10GbE Network Expansion License on my StoreOnce appliance?
Log in to the StoreOnce web management interface, navigate to Licensing > Add License, upload the BB949A license file, and follow the on-screen prompts to activate the 10GbE port.
What network requirements are needed for the 10GbE expansion?
Ensure your network switch and cabling support 10GbE (SFP+ or RJ45), and configure matching MTU, flow control and VLAN settings for optimal performance.
How does the 10GbE expansion improve backup performance?
By enabling direct 10GbE connectivity, BB949A reduces backup windows, increases data throughput up to 10 Gbps and lowers latency for faster backup and restore operations.
Is additional hardware required to use the 10GbE license?
No additional hardware is required if your StoreOnce appliance already includes the 10GbE port; BB949A simply unlocks its functionality via software entitlement.
Can I purchase BB949A as a term license or perpetual license?
BB949A is sold as a perpetual license that remains valid for the life of the appliance and does not require renewal fees.
How many 10GbE ports does BB949A activate?
The BB949A license activates one 10GbE port per licensed appliance instance for dedicated high-speed network connectivity.
Does BB949A support link aggregation or NIC teaming?
Yes, you can configure the activated 10GbE port in link aggregation groups (LACP) with compatible switches to boost throughput and provide redundancy.

License transfer depends on HPE’s Transfer of License Agreement; contact your HPE representative to request permission and receive a new entitlement key.
