11 Managing Your Storage Space
This section describes the advanced features in maxView Storage Manager that help you manage your
storage space. You can:
• Deploy servers with a server template le
• Manage remote systems and auto-discovery tasks with the Remote System wizard
• Clear a controller conguration
• Use a custom base port for the maxView Storage Manager Agent
Deploying Servers
maxView Storage Manager helps you deploy servers in your storage space without conguring each
server manually. You can select an optimally congured server in your storage space, save the controller
conguration to a sever template le, then duplicate the conguration on servers throughout your
network.
The basic procedure works like this:
1. Choose the system you want to use as the model for other servers in your storage space.
2. Save the conguration to a server template le for each controller on that system.
3. Log in to each remote system in your storage space and restore the controller(s) from the server
template le(s).
The following sections provide details on each of these steps.
Creating a Server Template File
This procedure saves the conguration of a controller that you want to use as a model for other servers
in your storage space. It creates a server template le in XML format, which denes the controller type,
operational settings, physical drive size, logical drive size, RAID level, and more. The default name of
the server template le is ControllerConf.xml.
To create a server template le:
1. In the Enterprise View, select a system, then select a controller on that system.
2. On the ribbon, in the Controller group, click Save Conguration.
The Save Conguration window opens.
3. Click Save to continue.
4. When the File Download window opens, click Save, enter a name for the server template le or
accept the default name, then click Save again.
5. When the download is complete, click Close.
6. Continue with Duplicating the Server Template on page 103 to deploy the same controller conguration
on multiple systems in your storage space.
Duplicating the Server Template
When you are ready to duplicate the server template on other systems in your storage space, you can
restore the controller(s) on those systems from the server template le.
