Discovering the NAS server as a Windows host Supported NAS topologies When you install the host agent on the NAS server, Storage Area Manager supports the NAS device as a host, a storage device, and a switch (if present). Storage Area Manager can discover, map, and manage most components of the NAS server in the following topologies: ■ NAS devices with internal storage. If Storage Area Manager discovers internal storage devices that are not supported (for example, Smart Array controllers), they are entered as "Unknown Devices." ■ NAS devices with external storage, which can include combinations of HBAs, storage devices, and interconnect devices.

If these devices are connected, Storage Area Manager discovers and maps them as "Unknown Devices." You can associate an unknown storage device with a node on the topology map or rename the unknown device to associate it with a particular NAS device.
