Page 53: Scheduling Defragmentation
Scheduling defragmentation The following information applies to all models of the HP ProLiant storage server. Defragmentation is the process of analyzing local volumes and consolidating fragmented files and folders so that each occupies a single, contiguous space on the volume.
Page 54 In the Tasks list, click Schedule Defrag. On the Manage the defragmentation schedule for [VolumeName] page, select the Schedule defragmentation for this volume check box. Select the frequency: Once, Weekly, or Monthly. Use the remaining controls to specify when defragmentation will occur. The available controls change according to the frequency that is selected.
Page 55: Disk Quotas
Disk quotas The following information applies to all models of the HP ProLiant Storage Server. Disk quotas track and control disk space use in volumes. NOTE: To limit the size of a folder or share, see “Directory quotas” in Chapter 6.
Page 56: Setting User Quota Entries
NOTE: When enabling disk quotas on a volume, any users with write access to the volume who have not exceeded their quota limit can store data on the volume. The first time a user writes data to a quota-enabled volume, default values for disk space limit and warning level are automatically assigned by the quota system.
Page 57: Setting User Quotas

Page 61: Shadow Copies
Shadow copy planning Before setup is initiated on the server and the client interface is made available to end users, consider the following: HP ProLiant Storage Server administration guide...
Page 62: Identifying The Volume
• From what volume will shadow copies be taken? • How much disk space should be allocated for shadow copies? • Will separate disks be used to store shadow copies? • How frequently will shadow copies be made? Identifying the volume Shadow copies are taken for a complete volume, but not for a specific directory.
Page 63: Converting Basic Storage Disks To Dynamic Disks
If a separate volume will be used for the storage area (where shadow copies are stored), the maximum size should be changed to No Limit to reflect the space available on the storage area volume instead of the source volume (where the user files are stored). HP ProLiant Storage Server administration guide...
Page 64: Determining Creation Frequency
Disk space for shadow copies can be allocated on either the same volume as the source files or a different volume. There is a trade-off between ease of use and maintenance versus performance and reliability that the system administrator must consider. By keeping the shadow copy on the same volume there is a potential gain in ease of setup and maintenance;...
Page 65: Managing Shadow Copies
G:\data\users is shared as \\server1\users. In this example, users can access previous versions of \\server1\data and \\server1\users but not \\server1\data\users.

Page 66: Shadow Copies Page
Figure 26 Shadow Copies page Table 11 Shadow Copies fields Description Field Volume Lists all volumes of the server on which the Shadow Copies service can be used. Only NTFS file system data volumes that are physically located on the server can support shadow copies.
Page 67: The Shadow Copy Cache File
The main advantage to storing shadow copies on a separate volume is ease of management and performance. Shadow copies on a source volume must be continually monitored and can consume space designated for file sharing. Setting the limit too high takes up valuable storage space. Setting the limit HP ProLiant Storage Server administration guide...
Page 68: Enabling And Creating Shadow Copies
too low can cause shadow copies to be purged too soon, or not created at all. By storing shadow copies on a separate volume space, limits can generally be set higher, or set to No Limit. See the Properties tab of the Shadow Copy page for a volume to alter the cache file location. CAUTION: If the data on the separate volume L: is lost, the shadow copies cannot be recovered.
Page 69: Viewing A List Of Shadow Copies
Use the remaining controls to specify the recurrence pattern and the starting date and time. The available controls change according to the frequency selected. Click OK. Deleting a shadow copy schedule To delete a shadow copy schedule on a volume: HP ProLiant Storage Server administration guide...

Users access shadow copies with Windows Explorer by selecting View, Copy, or Restore, from the Previous Versions tab. (See Figure 31). Both individual files and folders can be restored. HP ProLiant Storage Server administration guide...
Page 74: Nfs Shadow Copies
Figure 31 Client GUI When users view a network folder hosted on the storage server for which shadow copies are enabled, old versions (prior to the snapshot) of a file or directory are available. Viewing the properties of the file or folder presents users with the folder or file history—a list of read-only, point-in-time copies of the file or folder contents that users can then open and explore like any other file or folder.
Page 75: Recovery Of Files Or Folders
View the folder and select the file or folder to recover. The view may be navigated multiple folders deep. Click Restore to restore the file or folder to its original location. Click Copy... to allow the placement of the file or folder to a new location. HP ProLiant Storage Server administration guide...
Page 76: Recovering An Overwritten Or Corrupted File
Figure 32 Recovering a deleted file or folder Recovering an overwritten or corrupted file Recovering an overwritten or corrupted file is easier than recovering a deleted file because the file itself can be right-clicked instead of the folder. To recover an overwritten or corrupted file: Right-click the overwritten or corrupted file, and then click Properties.
Page 77: Backup And Shadow Copies
NTbackup is utilized, the backup software forces a snapshot and then uses the snapshot as the means for back up. The user is unaware of this activity and it is not self evident although it does address the issue of open files. HP ProLiant Storage Server administration guide...

Page 79: Overview
CIFS/SMB administration benefits from a consistent user and group administration strategy. Managing user names Usernames should reflect a logical relationship between the username and the person who uses the account. It is important that rules are established to ensure that usernames are: HP ProLiant Storage Server administration guide...
Page 80: Managing Group Names
• Systematic. • Easy to follow and implement. • Easy to remember. Using a combination of the user's first name, middle initial, and last name results in systematic usernames for every member of a particular organization. For example, first initial followed by last name (jdoe for John Doe).

The directory quota set on the system partition always has a passive limit and uses device size (capacity). If the system does not have sufficient quota to write files, it may fail. Also, if the system partition does not have enough space to write temporary files during boot, the system may not restart. Avoid this by using caution when placing quotas on the system directories.
