All-in-One Storage Manager
HP Stora geWorks All-in-One Storage M anager (ASM) is a storage hosting and management tool that
radically simplifies:
•
Hosting storage for applications and shared folders, page 19
•
Configuring data protection, page 37
•
Managing storage,page43
•
Monitoring storage,page47
ASM provides storage-allocation wizards that walk you through the process of allocating and configuring
storage on your HP All-in-One 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 h elp you set up SQL Server database storage, storage for user-defined
applications, and storage for shared folders.
ASM is d esigned to work seamlessly with Windows administrator tools, the HP All-in-O n e Storage
System Management application, Microsoft iSCSI Target, and Data Protector Express. For example, you
can change your HP All-in-One Storage System’s:
• Storage allocations (quotas), shared folder permissions and nam es, a n d snapshot schedules
using ASM, Windows administrator tools, and the HP All-in-One Storage System Management
applications.
• Media rotation type using ASM and D ata Protector Express.
However, you should not use Windows administrator tools to change the paths to storage configured on
your HP All-in-One Storage System or file directories created by ASM on application servers with storage
hosted on your HP All-in-One Storage System. Doing so will break the iSCSI communication paths
between your application servers and HP All-in-One Storage System, and make it so ASM c an no longer
locate allocated storage areas on your HP All-in-One Storage System.
