Viewing Properties for a File Server
To view the properties for a file server:
1. Click Tools > Storage Essentials > Application Viewer.
2. Expand the Applications node in the tree in Application Viewer.
3. Expand the File Servers node.
4. Click a file server name in the tree.
5. Click the Properties tab in the right pane.
The Properties page displays the following information.
• Custom Name - A unique name for the file server. The custom name is displayed for the File
System Viewer application instead of the file server's default name. The unique name helps in
distinguishing this File System Viewer instance from the actual server. To create a unique name,
type the name in the Custom Name field, and then click the Save button.
• *Vendor - The vendor that created the file server.
• Business Cost - Used to determine the cost impact of the application on the network. The
currency displayed is dependent upon the standards and formats setting on the management
server. In the Business Cost field, type an amount, for example 35.25. Then click OK.
Keep in mind the following:
• You cannot enter a symbol in front of the number, except for the dollar sign ($).
• You can enter a number with decimal points, 30.50.
• *Contacted - The last time the software contacted the file server.
• *Record Created - When a record was created for the file server.
• *Discovery Status - The status of the last discovery. If the element was just discovered, the
status is at “created.”
• Install Date - When the file server was installed.
• *Name Detected - The name of the file server detected.
