Preface

Audience and Purpose

This guide is intended for system and network administrators charged with 

installing and maintaining SnapServers on their network. We assume the 

administrator is familiar with the basic concepts and tasks of multiplatform 

network administration.
This guide provides information on the installation, configuration, security, and 

maintenance of SnapServers. It also provides information on installing and using 

the following utilities and software components:
• The Administration Tool
• SnapServer Manager (SSM)
• VSS/VDS Hardware Provider
• Computer  Associates  eTrust Antivirus (CA 

e

Trust Antivirus)

• Third-party backup agents
Some of the information presented in this manual (particularly the Storage 

Configuration and Expansion sections) applies only to SnapServers with four (4) or 

more drives. Users of the SnapServer 110 and SnapServer 210 are encouraged to 

consult the 

User’s Guide for SnapServer 110 and 210

 as their primary reference and to 

refer to this Administrator’s Guide for advanced guidelines.

Service and Technical Support

Note  

A note presents time-saving shortcuts related to the main topic.

Note  

A caution alerts you to potential hardware or software issues or hazards in 

the configuration or operation of SnapServers. Consider cautions carefully before 

proceeding with any operation.
