Roles

The Roles Summary section lists roles that are installed on the computer. The

icon on the left of each role displays the current general operational status of

the role.
Click the name of the role in the Roles Summary section to open the home

page for that role.

Share and Storage Management

Share and Storage Management provides a centralized location to manage

folders and volumes that are shared on the network:
To create Server Message Block (SMB) shares, see "Creating Server Message

Block Shares" on page 27.
To create the NFS shares, see "Creating the NFS Share" on page 40.

NOTE:

Volume operations are only available when Virtual Disk Service (VDS)

hardware providers are installed on the solution. VDS is not supported on this NAS

system.

File Server Resource Manager

FSRM is a suite of tools for Windows Storage Server 2008 R2 that allows

administrators to understand, control, and manage the quantity and type of

data that is stored on their system. By using FSRM, administrators can place

quotas on folders and volumes, actively screen files, and generate

comprehensive storage reports. This set of advanced instruments not only

helps the administrator efficiently monitor existing storage resources, but it

also aids in the planning and implementation of future policy changes. See

"Creating Quotas and File Screens" on page 41.

Storage Report Management

The Storage Reports Management node of the FSRM MMC snap-in allows

you to:

• Schedule periodic storage reports to identify trends in disk usage.
• Monitor attempts to save unauthorized files for all users or a selected

group of users.

• Generate storage reports instantly.
