Generating a CSR

Generating a CSR

You can generate a certificate signing request (CSR) from the SSL Certificate page. A certificate authority (CA) can use the CSR to create an SSL certificate for you. This CSR will contain information to be included in the certificate, such as organization name, common name (domain name), locality, and country. It also contains the public key that will be included in the certificate. Generating a new CSR generates a new private key therefore certificates signed with a previously generated CSR will no longer be installable.

To generate a CSR, complete the following steps:

1.
In the left navigation menu, click System Configuration → SSL Certificate.
The SSL Certificate page is displayed.
2.
On the Action menu in the upper right corner of the page, click Generate CSR. The Generate CSR pane is displayed.
3.
Enter the following required information in the form:
◦
Common Name - The domain to be secured by the certificate.
◦
Organization Name - The organization's legal business name.
◦
Organization Unit - A department in the organization.
◦
Locality - The business location.
◦
State Name - The state/province of the business location
◦
Country Code - The country of the business location.
◦
Email - A contact email address.
◦
Encryption - Select one of the following options: 2048-bit encryption or 4096 encryption. The default is 2048.
4.
Click Generate.
The Certificate request output will appear in the window. You can copy and paste the CSR to the CA's web site CSR page, or you can save the CSR to a file
 
NOTE: Every time a CSR is generated, a new private key is generated and stored on the DR Series system. When the signed certificate is returned from the CA, and you attempt to install the signed certificate, a verification that the installed signed certificate matches the private key is performed. If the installed certificate does not match the private key, the certificate installation will fail due to private key match failure.  You should be careful not to run a subsequent CSR generation while your initial CSR is being signed by a CA, as the returned certificate will no longer match the private key.
5.
Click Save to File to save it to a file.

Managing storage groups

Managing storage groups

Viewing storage group information
Adding a storage group
Modifying a storage group
Deleting a storage group

To organize your data, you can easily create storage groups and create containers within those storage groups on your DR Series system. A storage group allows you to create separate storage policies for different data groups and the different capacities utilized on a single DR Series system. You can also create and organize storage groups for the different organizations in your enterprise, such as Engineering, Sales, Finance, and so on.

After initialization, the DR Series system contains a single default storage group, named DefaultGroup.

Refer to these important notes about storage groups.

•
Only administrator users can create storage groups.
•
Data/containers cannot be moved between storage groups.
•
Deduplication is defined at the storage group level and is not global to the appliance.
•
Encryption is defined separately for each storage group.
•
Compression is defined separately for each storage group.
•
The system cleaner cannot be run on a single storage group; only at the system level.
•
Before you can delete a storage group, you must delete all containers contained in that storage group.
•
A filesystem scan can be run on a single storage group.
 
NOTE: When upgrading to the DR Series system 4.0 release, existing containers will be placed into the Default Storage Group. You cannot move a legacy container to a newly created storage group after the upgrade. The administrator can create additional storage groups as needed.

To view the Storage Groups page, on the left navigation menu, click System Configuration > Storage Groups.
