Managing Servers Centrally Using Storage Manager
Servers that are registered to Storage Manager are managed from the Servers view. Registered servers are centrally managed regardless
of the Storage Centers to which they are connected.
Figure 16. Servers View
The following additional features are available for servers that are registered to Storage Manager:
• Storage Manager gathers operating system and connectivity information from registered servers.
• Storage Manager can automatically add a corresponding Storage Center server object for each registered server.
• Storage Center volumes can be created, mounted, and formatted on the servers directly from the Storage Manager Client.
• When creating a volume for a Windows or VMware server, Storage Manager can recommend a Storage Center to host the volume
based on capacity and performance.
