All-in-One Storage Manager HP StorageWorks All-in-One Storage Manager (ASM) is a storage hosting and management tool that radically simplifies: • Hosting storage for applications and shared folders, page 61 • Data protection, page 81 • Managing storage, page 89 • Monitoring storage, page 93 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 help you set up SQL Server database storage, storage for user-defined applications, and storage for shared folders. ASM is designed to work seamlessly with Windows administrator tools, the HP All-in-One 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 names, and snapshot schedules using ASM, Windows administrator tools, and the HP All-in-One Storage System Management applications. • Media rotation type using ASM and Data 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 can no longer locate allocated storage areas on your HP All-in-One Storage System. Software requirements ASM comes preinstalled on your HP All-in-One Storage System. A license key is not required for ASM. Software support Only storage for application servers running on Windows Server 2003 and on the same domain as your HP All-in-One Storage System can be hosted.
