Host-based application access requirements
Host-based applications from EqualLogic facilitate access between computers and PS Series group storage.
Each application requires a method of acces
sing the group and its storage:
• SAN HeadQuarters – Enables you to monitor the performance and status of multiple groups from a central user
interfa
ce. The application uses SNMP to access the group.
See the SAN HeadQuarters documentation and Displaying and configuring SNMP access to a Group on pag
e
4-11.
• Manual Transfer Utility – Enables you to perform a replication operation using
external media, instead of the
network. The application uses SNMP to access the group.
See the Manual Transfer Utility documentation
and Displaying and configuring SNMP access to a Group on
page 4-11.
• Auto-Snapshot Manager/Microsoft Edition – Enables you to create consistent backups on group storage.
The
application uses special access controls to access the group.
See the ASM/ME docume
ntation and Displaying and configuring Windows service access to a Group on page
4-12.
• Auto-Snapshot Manager/VMware Edition – Enables you to create ba
ckups on group storage in a VMware
environment. The application uses the Group Manager GUI channel to access the group.
See the ASM/VE documentation and Accessing the GUI or CLI on
page 4-1.
Displaying and configuring Windows service access to a Group
Microsoft Windows computers that are running a Microsoft service, such as Virtual Disk Service (VDS) or Volume
Shadow Copy Service (VSS), must be able to access a PS Series group to perform management operations.
Note: Auto-Snapshot Manager/Microsoft Edition requires you to configure W
indows service access to a group.
To allow VDS and VSS access to the group, you must create at least
one VDS/VSS access control record that
matches the access control credentials you configure on the computer by using Remote Setup Wizard or Auto-
Snapshot Manager/Microsoft Edition.
