This section will provide you details on how to configure a storage endpoints connection string to utilize the S3 Adapter. Please refer to the StoragePoint Reference Guide for information on managing Storage Endpoints.
On the Application Management page, click Storage and Backup Endpoints.
Click Create New Endpoint or click the name of an existing storage endpoint that you want to edit.
Click the Show link next to the Advanced Adapter Settings to see the additional fields.
Setting Value/Options | ||
---|---|---|
Name Enter the unique name of the Storage or Backup Endpoint. | ||
Type Backup this endpoint will be in the Backup Services dropdown on the profile page. The selection is locked down when saving. See Backup Services Settings in the Reference Guide for more information on how Backup Endpoints are used. | ||
Status Online Storage Endpoint should be available to associate to a Storage Profile and accept BLOBs. (default) Offline (Read Only) A storage endpoint can be configured, but not made available for externalizing content. The BLOBs already on the endpoint are still read only. | ||

For custom or private clouds or where StoragePoint cannot automatically retrieve the region because of security or permission reasons. | ||
Possible settings: Delete Allowed No special permissions are required to delete content on this endpoint. Permanent This sets Compliance mode enabled. Indefinite Sets Compliance mode disabled. Content cannot be deleted, but retention can be changed at a later time. Date Format This sets a date for the retention policy. Click the calendar icon to select a date, or type it like this example: 08/31/2029 Duration/Interval Type a number in the first box, and select an interval from the dropdown. The interval may be days (D), months (M) or years (Y).

Yes Externalized content BLOBs are placed in folders. If Folder Content in BLOB Store is Yes then you can select a date/time folder scheme from the dropdown. YYYY/MM/DD/HH/MM is the default. | ||
| ||
Yes Externalized content BLOBs are compressed. | ||
AES (128 bit) 128 bit AES encryption will be applied to externalized BLOBs. AES (256 bit) 256 bit AES encryption will be applied to externalized BLOBs. | ||

Click the Show Connection String checkbox to edit the connection string. Otherwise, fill in the connection fields shown for the adapter selected. Notice that the connection string parameters are name/value pairs separated by semi-colons.
|
NOTE: Adapter parameters are not case-sensitive. |
|
NOTE: You should always use a passphrase when generating encryption keys. The passphrase gives you a means of re-creating keys should they become unrecoverable or corrupt. It is very important to remember or record the passphrase outside of StoragePoint. Otherwise, encrypted content could become irretrievable in the event of a database failure. |
If you choose to externalize content you should test the storage profile settings by clicking the Test Storage Settings button. A message under the button will indicate whether or not the test was successful. If the test fails the message will include the error that was the root cause of the failure.
|
NOTE: When testing access to an endpoint from within Central Administration, the Identity of the Application Pool hosting the Central Administration Site is the one that is being used for the test. If there are different Identities used for other Web Applications in the Farm then those identities will also need access but cannot be tested from within Central Admin itself. See BLOB Store Security and StoragePoint Required Privileges in the StoragePoint Reference Guide. |
