Content pane
data migration

The right pane in the main window of the ASM user interface that provides a list
of actions, based on your current selection in the Content pane. Along with other
selectable items, the Actions pane provides access to storage-allocation wizards,
which help you allocate and configure storage.
A dialog box accessed by clicking the Advanced button in the Storage Allocation
page in any of the storage-allocation wizards. This dialog box allows you to
change the size of the allocated space and the default (recommended) advanced
configuration settings.
Storage space that is being used by, or reserved for, application or shared folder
storage.
A server computer in a computer network dedicated to running certain software
applications whose job is to provide network access to software client/server
applications and, sometimes, the data that belongs to applications as well.
Also known as a JBOD (just a bunch of disks). A group of hard drives in an
enclosure (chassis) that are controlled by an array controller.
Controls reads and writes to the hard drives in an array.
A read-only copy of data copied to media, such as hard drives or magnetic tape,
for data protection.
A full backup copies all the data selected to be backed up. An incremental
backup copies only data selected to be backed up that has changed since the
last full backup.
Backups provide data protection in the event of system or hard drive failure,
because the data is stored on media separate from the system hard drives.
An application used to create, manage, and monitor backups.
Common Internet file system. The protocol used in Windows environments for
shared folders.
The center pane in the main window of the ASM user interface that displays
storage utilization, and the storage status of application components and shared
folders.
The process of moving data from one storage device to another, such as moving
application data from an application server to your HP All-in-One Storage System.
ASM supports automatic data migration for Exchange and SQL Server data.
Protects data from being corrupted or lost as a result of hard drive failure.
Methods used to provide data protection include RAID and backups.
