Using the Host an Exchange Storage Group Wizard
The Host an Exchange Storage Group Wizard automatically discovers the Exchange storage groups
in your network domain and helps you allocate and configure storage space for these components:
• Mail stores—Contain the data in user mailboxes.
• Public stores—Contain the data in public folders.
• Logs—Provide a record of every message stored in a storage group.
Before you begin configuring storage for Exchange
• Make sure the ASM agent is installed on each server with Exchange data you plan to host. See
the HP StorageWorks All-in-One Storage System quick start instructions for more information.
• Make sure you have an up-to-date backup of your Exchange data and logs.
