3 Administration tools

HP StorageWorks X1000 and X3000 Network Storage Systems include several administration tools
to simplify storage system management tasks. HP StorageWorks X1000 Network Storage Systems
include the HP Automated Storage Manager (ASM) in addition to HP storage utilities and Microsoft®
Windows® Storage Server 2008 administration tools.

HP StorageWorks Automated Storage Manager

After installing and setting up your storage system, you can begin managing your storage using the
HP Automated Storage Manager (HP ASM). HP ASM comes preinstalled on all HP X1000 Network
Storage Systems.
NOTE:
HP ASM is not supported and cannot be installed on HP X3000 Network Storage Systems.
ASM provides storage-allocation wizards that walk you through the process of allocating and
configuring storage on your HP Network Storage System to host application data and shared folders.
The storage-allocation wizards also allow you to schedule backups and snapshots of hosted application
data and shared folders. Other wizards are provided to help you set up Exchange Server storage,
SQL Server database storage, storage for user-defined applications, and storage for shared folders.
For more information about using the HP Automated Storage Manager, see the HP ASM online help
or the HP StorageWorks X1000 Automated Storage Manager user guide. Go to
go/nas, select your product family, select your product model, click Support for your product, and
then click Manuals.

Microsoft Windows Storage Server 2008 administration tools

Microsoft® Windows® Storage Server 2008 operating systems provide a user interface for initial
server configuration, unified storage system management, simplified setup and management of storage
and shared folders, and support for Microsoft iSCSI Software Target. It is specially tuned to provide
optimal performance for network-attached storage. Windows Storage Server 2008 provides significant
enhancements in share and storage management scenarios, as well as integration of storage system
management components and functionality.

Remote Desktop for Administration

You can remotely administer storage systems by using Remote Desktop for Administration (formerly
known as Terminal Services in Remote Administration mode). You can use it to administer a computer
from virtually any computer on your network. Based on Terminal Services technology, Remote Desktop
for Administration is specifically designed for server management.
