General Settings The General Settings panel enables you to control the general behavior and options for ASM/ME on all hosts.

Table 7. General Settings Option Auto-Snapshot Manager Document Directory Description Specifies the location for the folder that stores the backup documents. The default directory is: C:\ProgramData\EqualLogic\VSS Requestor\ Requirements: • A non-clustered host should have its own backup document directory for storing backup documents. If you want to use a shared Windows directory for a nonclustered host, you must use a subdirectory within the shared directory. If Host A and Host B (both non-clustered hosts) store their backup documents on a shared directory, they should each store them in their own subdirectories. For example, Host A would store them on \\server\share\subdirectory1 and Host B would store them on \\server\share\subdirectory2. Configure ASM/ME 19
