HP StoreEasy 1000 Administrator's Manual page 31

NOTE: Windows Storage Server 2012 R2 Standard Edition is installed in the Server with a
GUI mode by default. You can switch to Server Core Installation mode. However, the Server
Core Installation mode is only supported on an HPE StoreEasy 1000 Storage system when the
operating environment does not require user interaction (such as in a data center). Any activity
that requires the use of a GUI must be done in the Server with a GUI mode. For more information
about installation options, see the Windows Server Installation Options article on Microsoft
TechNet at:
http://technet.microsoft.com/library/hh831786.aspx
To switch to Server Core mode, see "Using Server Core mode" (page 53) for more information.
The Windows Server Manager→Tools→StoreEasy menu provides a collection of HPE and
Microsoft utilities that are useful for managing HPE StoreEasy 1000 Storage. The Initial
Configuration Tasks window assists during the initial out of box setup by configuring items,
such as system settings, setting the network IP and domain of the HPE StoreEasy 1000 Storage,
configuring email alerts, registering product, provisioning storage, and protecting your server.
For more information on the ICT tasks, see "Configuring HPE StoreEasy 1000 Storage" (page 49).
The Pool Manager is used to create storage pools and assign spare drives. For more information
on Pool Manager, see "Using Pool Manager" (page 65). Using Windows Server Manager→File
and Storage Services, you can also create virtual disks and place volumes on the virtual disks.
