Administrator's Guide

NOTE: Transitioning to Server Core mode disables the OEM-Appliance-OOBE feature. After
transitioning back to Server with a GUI mode, you must manually enable this feature by executing
the following command:
PS C:\Users\Administrator>dism /online /enable-feature
/featurename:OEM-Appliance-OOBE
Then, install HP ICT from C:\hpnas\Components\ManagementTools.
Configuring failover properties for multi-site environments
You can configure failover properties for multi-site environments using DFS Management, which
is available from the Tools menu in Windows Server Manager (Tools→DFS Management).
For detailed instructions, see the Microsoft TechNet article, DFS Step-by-Step Guide for Windows
Server 2008, which is available at:
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc732863(v=ws.10).aspx
NOTE:
• The information in the article applies to Windows Server 2012 as well.
• The article provides instructions to configure both DFS Namespace and DFS Replication.
• The prerequisites listed in the article are already installed with the StoreEasy software.
• You can start at the section entitled, “Overivew of the DFS Management Snap-in”.
Additional access methods
After the storage system installation process is complete and the system's IP address has been
assigned, you can then additionally use the Remote Desktop and Telnet methods to access the
storage system.
Using the Remote Desktop method
Remote Desktop provides the ability for you to log on to and remotely administer your server, giving
you a method of managing it from any client. Installed for remote administration, Remote Desktop
allows only two concurrent sessions. Leaving a session running takes up one license and can affect
other users. If two sessions are running, additional users will be denied access.
To connect the storage system to a network using the Remote Desktop method:
1. On the PC client, select Start→Windows PowerShell. Type mstsc and click Enter.
2. Enter the IP address of the storage system in the Computer box and click Connect.
3. Log on to the storage system with the administrator user name and password.
Using the Telnet method
Telnet is a utility that lets users connect to machines, log on, and obtain a command prompt
remotely. By default, Telnet server is not installed.
