File Migration Agent administrator guide 37
3 Configuration
Before you configure the software, please check the prerequisites on page 24.
For a successful configuration, you need to create a configuration plan. The following questions should
help you to achieve this:
• Which volume (D:, E:, and so on) do you want to manage with the HP StorageWorks File Migration
Agent (FMA)?
NOTE: An FMA managed volume is the volume (F:, G:, and so on) where the data that you want
to migrate and release with the FMA software is stored. The FMA managed volume is the source of
the data.
• Which FMA archive (target) should the data be transferred to?
• Is it necessary to have the same data stored on different targets (at least on two different targets)?
This is recommended for security reasons.
• Which type of archive is required?
FMA supports three different types of archives:
• File system archive store (via CIFS)
• FTP archive store (HP StorageWorks File System Extender (FSE))
• HP StorageWorks Reference Information Storage System (RISS) store
For proper operation, the following items must be configured:
• A technical user must be provided. For further information about technical users, see ”Technical user”
on page 24.
• One or more managed file systems on the local system.
• One or more backend archive locations.
CAUTION: After modification in the managed file systems, please reboot the FMA system.
FMA contains a graphical user interface that is installed as a component of the Microsoft Management
Console (FMA MMC Snap-In). The rest of the document will refer to this part as the FMA MMC Snap-In.
This section describes how to set up the HSM system using FMA MMC Snap-In.
To start the FMA MMC Snap-In, use the shortcut:
Start > Programs > HP StorageWorks File Migration Agent > FMA Configuration
Figure 24 Shortcut for starting FMA MCC Snap-In
or use the shortcut:
Start > Control Panel > Administrative Tools > Computer Management
The FMA MMC Snap-In has various entries for the different items that need to be configured:
• Archives (configure backend archives as target).
• Managed Volumes (configure managed file systems as source).
