4.0 Managing Existing User Storage

Because Micro Focus Storage Manager for eDirectory is deployed into an existing Micro Focus Open Enterprise Server network with users, groups, and containers already established in eDirectory, your principle focus should be to start managing the storage that is assigned to these users. This process involves several tasks:

  • Running reports to determine the status of your user storage

  • Creating policies that standardize the storage allocation, quota, rights, and more

  • Managing the users through Manage Operations

  • Testing these policies to verify that they are working as desired

By completing this section, you not only put your existing users’ storage into a managed state and set it up for ongoing management through Storage Manager for eDirectory, but you also learn the basic procedures for reporting and for setting user policies.

After completing the procedures in this section, refer to the remainder of the Micro Focus Storage Manager 5.3 for eDirectory Administration Guide for more detailed content on these tasks as well as many others.
