3 Storage Management
Overview
This chapter provides an overview of the components that make up the HP
ProLiant Storage Server storage structure.
The storage server is configured at the factory with default system settings
and with the operating system installed. The information in this chapter
refers to data storage that, except for the 100 series, does not come
pre-carved or RAID configured.
CAUTION:
This section on storage management is required reading material for the
storage server administrator. This section develops the concepts and
requirements that serve as the basis for successfully using an HP ProLiant
Storage Server. Failure to read this section and the appropriate sections
on storage management in the administration guide may lead to data
loss or file corruption.

Storage management elements

Storage is divided into four major divisions:
• Physical storage elements
• Logical storage elements
• File system elements
• File sharing elements
Each of these elements is composed of the previous level's elements.

Storage Management example

The MSA1000 storage and the associated Array Configuration Utility are
used in the example. The Array Storage device in use impacts the devices
in use and the relevant storage management software required.
