Choose type of application
1.
Select the type of application for hosting a user-defined application:
• Remote Windows Application- ASM will provision storage for the application and expose
the storage to the given server as an NTFS volume over the iSCSI protocol. This is the
recommended option for most scenarios. The All-in-One Storage Manager agent must be
installed on the application server to use this option.
• iSCSI LUN- Exposes a LUN to the remote server so the server can store data on the LUN. You
will need to install an iSCSI initiator on your host server. Storage is provisioned for these
applications.
• Local storage only- Creates a volume on your All-in-One Storage System. Storage is provisioned
for these applications.
