The Network Attached Storage Branch

Under Network Attached Storage, the Enterprise View lists any GuardianOS-

powered Snap Servers on your network.
When you select Network Attached Storage in the Enterprise View, the

GuardianOS-powered Snap Servers on your network are listed in the right-hand

panel of the window.

When you select a GuardianOS-powered Snap Server in the Enterprise View, its

properties appear in the right-hand panel of the window, using an identical format

to the Properties panel used in Snap Server Manager (the management tool

provided with your GuardianOS-powered Snap Server).

For more information about monitoring GuardianOS-powered Snap Servers in

Adaptec Storage Manager, see page 126.
