Starting Microsoft Management Console
After you complete the configuration process, start Microsoft Management Console (MMC) to protect your Exchange or SQL Server data.
IBM Storage Protect Snapshot for Microsoft Exchange Server and IBM Storage Protect Snapshot for Microsoft SQL Server software is displayed in MMC as a plug-in. MMC uses a navigation tree to organize the computer data that is registered. Each computer icon that is followed by the word Dashboard represents a physical computer.
When you register a computer, information about the computer is collected and stored. Password information is encrypted and stored separately. The computers that are registered are tracked with a globally unique identifier (GUID). The GUID is used when you back up and restore data.
You can create groups of computers. These groups consolidate information when you view the dashboard, prepare reports, and run group commands. By default, the computers in a group are selected when you complete tasks for the group, but you can select more computers in the tree to include in an operation.
