HP StoreEasy 1000 Storage Administrator's Manual page 19

NOTE: Windows Storage Server 2012 or 2012 R2 Standard Edition is installed in Server with
a GUI mode by default. You can switch to Server Core Installation mode; however, Server Core
Installation mode is only supported on an HP StoreEasy 1000 Storage system when the operating
environment does not require user interaction (such as in a data center). Any activity that requires
the use of a GUI must be done in Server with a GUI mode. For more information about installation
options, see the "Windows Server Installation Options" article on Microsoft TechNet at:
http://technet.microsoft.com/library/hh831786.aspx
To switch to Server Core mode, see "Using Server Core" (page 47) for more information.
The Initial Configuration Tasks window assists during the initial out of box setup by configuring
items such as time zone, networking, domain join, and provisioning storage. The HP StoreEasy
Pool Manager is used to create storage pools and assign spare drives. Select Windows Server
Manager→File and Storage Services to create virtual disks and place volumes on the virtual disks.
Also, the Windows Server Manager→Tools→HP StoreEasy menu provides a collection of HP and
Microsoft utilities that are useful for managing the storage system.
