Scaling display settings
Changing the scaling settings customizes the size at which each application area or shared folder is
displayed in the content pane. You can choose to scale each application area and shared folder so
that it is displayed in proportion to its capacity (allocated storage size), or so that all the application
areas and shared folders are displayed at the same size.
1. In the Actions pane, click Configure Display Options.
The Display Options dialog box opens.
2. Click the Scaling tab.
3. Select the storage-display proportion setting:
• According to capacity, using automatic scaling—Displays logical disks and volumes, and
application areas according to relative size, but leaves the display readable.
• All as the same size—Displays logical disks and volumes, and application areas as the same
size.
4. Click Apply to apply your change.
5. Click OK.
Configure Application Credentials
Use the Application Credentials dialog box to set or update user name and password security
credentials applicable to the HP Storage System.
1. Expand the nodes of the tree in order to view the credential status of an application server.
2. If the Credential Status column reads OK or Not required, no action is required for that application.
3. If the Credential Status column reads Failed or Not set, select the application row and then click
Update Credentials. An Enter Credentials dialog box is displayed.
4. Type the user name and password of a user with sufficient privileges as described in the dialog
and then click OK.
5. Repeat steps 1 through 4 for each application server.
Configure Storage Networks
Use the Storage Networks dialog box to configure a preferred private storage network for iSCSI traffic
between your HP Storage System and any connected servers that use the iSCSI protocol. This dialog
box appears the first time you use the Host an Exchange Storage Group wizard, Host a SQL Server
Database wizard, or Host a User-Defined Application wizard. Settings configured in this dialog box
affect only iSCSI traffic.
HP strongly recommends configuring all iSCSI-based storage for application servers on a dedicated
Ethernet subnet. The purpose of a private LAN for iSCSI traffic is to is to guarantee dedicated network
bandwidth for storage as well as increased security.
To configure storage networks for iSCSI traffic:
1. Under Preferred Storage Network, select a network that will be designated to manage all iSCSI
traffic.
2. Under Available for Failover, select a network that can be used to manage iSCSI traffic in the
event that the preferred storage network fails. In the event of iSCSI initiator failure, iSCSI traffic
fails over to the designated network.
