Users Guide

When Storage Manager for SANs creates a volume in a group, it automatically creates access controls for the volume. If CHAP
is used, the user name is always the iSCSI initiator name. You can optionally specify a secret password.
Storage Manager for SANs automatically creates an access control record in the group with matching access controls, in
addition to a local CHAP account, if you use CHAP.
The volume access controls that Storage Manager for SANs creates in the group also apply to snapshots of the volume. After
these credentials are assigned, you cannot change them using the Group Manager GUI or CLI. Instead, you must use Storage
Manager for SANs to change the CHAP credentials. You can set up additional access controls for a volume created with Storage
Manager for SANs by using normal Group Manager access control records.
Start Storage Manager for SANs
To start Storage Manager for SANs, click Start → Administrative Tools → Storage Manager for SANs.
Because of the way it gathers storage information, the Storage Manager for SANs application incorrectly reports the total
capacity and used space of a PS Series group. Use the Group Manager GUI to obtain accurate free space information.
You can also use the Provision Storage Wizard (found within Storage Manager for SANs), which reports the size of actual
storage space available on the group as the maximum volume size.
See the Microsoft Storage Manager for SANs documentation for more information about using this utility.
