Using the Host a User-Defined Application Wizard
The wizard helps you set up your All-in-One Storage System to store application data for various
applications. Storage will be allocated for the application, optionally exposed to another server using the
iSCSI protocol, and an NTFS file volume may be optionally created on the remote application server.
Upon completion, you can monitor and manag e storage for the application through the the All-in-One
Storage manager.
After storage is allocated and config ured on your HP All-in-One Storage System for a remote application
using the Host a User-Defined Application Wizard, do the following:
• Manually migrate the remote application’s data to your HP All-in-One Storage System. See
“Migrating user-defined application data to your HP All-in-One Storage System”onpage34
for more information.
• Configure the remote application to store its data on the iSCSI LUN exported by ASM to the
application server a s described in the application’s documentation.
Before you begin configuring storage for a user-defined application
• Verify the remote ap plication has the following characteristics:
• Runs under Windows Server 2003
•UsesNTFSvolumesforstorage
• Make sure the ASM agent is installed on each application server with data you pla n to host. See
the H P StorageWorks All-in-One Storage System quick start instructions for more information.
• Make sure you have an up-to-date backup of your remote application data and logs.
• For an iSCSI LUN application, you will need the iSCSI quali fied name.
NOTE:
For a remote windows application, you need to know the path to the iSCSI LUN on the application
server to configure the remote application to store data on the iSCSI LUN. The path to the iSCSI LUN is
displayed on the application’s Properties window on the Storage tab.
