Changing bucket retention

To change retention settings for existing objects, follow the procedures below. To change the default bucket settings for new objects, refer to Editing bucket settings

To change bucket retention settings

  1. On the Containers pane, find the object storage container that you want to edit. Click the ellipses icon, and click Edit.
  2. In the Buckets section, find the desired bucket. Right-click on the ellipsis icon and click Change Retention.
  3. [Optional] In the Prefix section, enter the folder prefix. This will limit retention changes to objects in the specified folder.
  4. In the Locking Mode section, select from one of the options below:
    • Compliance - prevents objects from being overwritten or deleted by any user during the specified lock period. When an object is locked in compliance mode, its retention mode can't be changed, and its retention period can't be shortened. Compliance mode ensures that an object version can't be overwritten or deleted for the duration of the retention period.
    • Governing - prevents users without the appropriate permissions from overwriting or deleting an object version or altering its lock settings. With governance mode, you protect objects against being deleted by most users, but you can still grant some users permission to alter the retention settings or delete the object if necessary. You can also use governance mode to test retention-period settings before creating a compliance-mode retention period.
    • None - provides no object locking.
  5. In the Locking Duration field, select the number and format (days or years) to specify the time that the object lock will be active.
  6. Click Update.

Configuring additional storage

QoreStor allows for the configuration of additional storage enclosures in order to increase capacity.

Guidelines for configuring additional storage

Refer to the following important notes and guidelines for understanding storage expansion in QoreStor.

  • For Standard and Cloud-Optimizeed installation modes, QoreStor supports a maximum of 5 locations (1 internal plus 4 expansion). When installed in Large mode, QoreStor supports a maximum of 7 locations.
  • QoreStor can only add a mounted filesystem path. QoreStor will not create a filesystem if one is not present.
    • The mounted filesystem should be XFS type.
    • Mount path cannot be read-only.
    • The mount path should not be already configured enclosure path.
  • When adding storage, the filesystem service will be restarted.
  • Storage can be added without being licensed, but an appropriately sized license is required to make the storage usable by QoreStor.
    • Licenses can be added in multiples of Terabytes from 1 TB to the maximum capacity for your QoreStor installation mode.
