Management Tasks
After the prerequisite tasks are done, you are ready to perform other storage
management tasks. You can:
■
Configure additional system and network settings. You can change these
when something about your system changes (location, system administrator,
new user or group mappings).
■
Manage your storage. Most storage settings were properly set during setup.
You will need to change them if you change your storage configuration or if
you choose options such as renaming/adding arrays or working with
snapshots. Make sure you understand storage concepts before proceeding. See
Understanding Physical and Logical Storage on page 29 for more
information.
■
Investigate system events by viewing the Event Summary on the Status
tab. The Status tab lets you review any events which impact the overall health
of your NAS system, including the NAS server, attached arrays, and cluster
services.
■
Determine a virus and backup strategy. The NAS 8000 provides a backup
agent, disaster recovery, virus protection, and snapshots functionality to
protect your data.
■
Prepare for a disaster.
■
Integrate with network backup applications.
■
Contact HP support.
■
Upgrade the server software.
