3 Administration tools
HP StorageWorks X1000 G2 Network Storage Systems include several administration tools as well
as HP StorageWorks Automated Storage Manager (ASM) to simplify storage system management
tasks.
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 G2 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 Automated Storage Manager User Guide. Go to
select your product family, select your product model, click Support for your product, and then
click Manuals.
