Storage Center Server Administration
Storage Manager allows you to allocate storage on each Storage Center for the servers in your environment. Servers that are
connected to Storage Centers can also be registered to Storage Manager to streamline storage management and to run Space
Recovery for Windows servers.
Managing Storage Center Server Objects
Storage Center server objects are managed individually for each Storage Center from the Servers subtab. Storage Centers have no
knowledge about the servers other than the operating system, which must be manually specified.

Managing Servers on a Storage Center
