Storage management functionality is used to manage fonts, macros, and objects on device storage facilities such as disk or flash devices. This functionality can be viewed from any device list with one or more devices selected and then choosing the Storage tab.
All selected devices are displayed in the Storage tab list with Device Model, IP Hostname, and IP Address defined. Used space and Read/Write accessibility are displayed for each device in the list. In addition, grouping controls exist for multiple devices enabling a variety of storage analysis and storage configuration access.
Parts of the Storage Tab Page
● View
● Templates
● Repository
The Storage tab displays information about the devices selected in the device list. The following sections describe the options on the Storage tab.
View
You can use the View option to select the type of information displayed on the Storage tab for the selected devices.
● Media: This option lists the storage media on the selected devices. If the Storage Device count is 1 or greater, the mouse-over tool tip displays a table of all the storage media on the device. The following options are available in this view:
◦ Secure Storage Erase: Starts the devices secure storage erase action. One of three secure modes can be set for the storage erase action. These modes are Non-secure Fast Erase, Secure Fast Erase, and Secure Sanitizing Erase. The extent of security in the secure erase feature on the device will depend on device model and firmware. See device documentation regarding Secure Storage erase features for more details. An option to enable write-protect can be set to leave the device in read-only mode once secure storage erase has completed. This feature can be scheduled as a one time or recurring operation.
◦ Initialize File System: Causes the device user-directory structure to initialize. The file system will vary depending on device or storage type; please see device-specific documentation. This feature can be scheduled as a one-time or recurring operation.
◦ Write Protection: Enables or disables write functionality on the selected storage facility. This makes a device read-only or read-write capable.
◦ Erase Customer Data: Starts the Erase Customer Data wizard. This wizard removes any job information that is stored on the device, but does not remove any device configuration settings.
The device cannot be used while the erase operation is in progress. The erase operation can be scheduled to occur at a specified time.
The Non-secure fast erase, Secure fast erase, and Secure sanitizing erase modes are available for the erase operation. The Secure sanitizing erase mode overwrites the data three times and can take several hours to complete for large hard disks.
NOTE: For more information about HP FutureSmart devices and hard disk security, see the HP FutureSmart Firmware Device Hard Disk Security white paper. This white paper is available from the HP Web Jetadmin support page.
◦ Use Drive: If a device has more than one drive installed, enables you to select the drive where configuration files, stored jobs, and temporary files are stored, and move existing customer data to that drive. You cannot move configuration data to a RAM drive because all data on a RAM drive is

lost when the drive is turned off and then turned on. You can create a schedule to run the Use Drive operation one time or on a recurring basis.
◦ Erase Drive: Enables you to completely erase a drive. This process does not preserve any data. You can erase only one drive at a time. The Secure Erase option selects the most secure erase method available for the selected drive. The Cryptographically Erase option is performed only on secure drives. This option resets the encryption key, prevents access to the data, turns the drive off and then on, and re-encrypts the drive with new keys. You can create a schedule to run the Erase Drive operation one time or on a recurring basis.
◦ Set Encryption to AES_128: Erases all of the data on the SSD drive. The device automatically turns off and then turns on. When the device turns on, the encryption level is set to AES-128.
◦ Set Encryption to AES_256: Erases all of the data on the SSD drive. The device automatically turns off and then turns on. When the device turns on, the encryption level is set to AES-256.
● Fonts and Macros: This option displays the number of fonts and macros installed on the device. The mouse-over tool tip displays a table of all the fonts and macros installed on the device. The following options are available in this view:
◦ Install: Installs a font or macro on the selected device. (See Install Fonts and Macros on Devices on page 250.)
◦ Remove: Removes the selected fonts and macros from the device, but does not remove them from the Storage Repository. (See Remove Font and Macro Files from Devices on page 251.)
◦ Print Font/Macro: Prints the selected fonts and macros. (See Print Font/Macro on page 251.)
● Resident Fonts: This option displays the number of resident fonts on the device. The mouse-over tool tip displays a table of all the resident fonts on the device.
● Disk Jobs: This option displays the number of stored jobs currently on the device. The mouse-over tool tip displays a table of the stored jobs on the device. The following options are available in this view:
◦ Delete: Deletes the selected print job.
◦ Print Disk Job: Prints the selected print job. If the print job is secured by a PIN, you must type the correct PIN in order to print the job. You can enter only one PIN. If you select more than one PIN-protected job and the jobs have different PIN values, you can print only one. HP recommends that you select only one private print job at a time to avoid this restriction.

Device File System Password
If a file system password exists on the device and if it is not captured in HP Web Jetadmin’s Credential Store, you will be prompted for the password when attempting to perform any configuration action. Device file system passwords can be configured on the devices from HP Web Jetadmin. When these are configured, they are also placed into the Credential Store. Global file system credentials can be added to HP Web Jetadmin through Tools > Options > Shared > Credentials > Device > File System (Manage the Global File System Passwords on page 53). These are used when no password exists in the store and one is required by the device.
