6.16 Configuring Your Storage Resources

Before File Dynamics can manage, protect, and report on your network storage, you must first configure your storage resources and in the process, specify what servers to include for scoping and those to ignore.

  1. In the Admin Client, click the Home tab.

  2. Click Storage Resources.

  3. In the Scope region, browse to locate the containers or servers you want included and drag them to the Include frame.

    If you do not specify the containers or servers to include, File Dynamics will process all of the servers on your network, which can affect the ability of File Dynamics to perform management and reporting tasks.

  4. (Optional) From the Include frame, right click a server and select Share to view information on the shares of that server.

  5. Click Save.

  6. When asked if you want to start the update of the storage resources, click Yes.
