StoragePoint 6.1 - File System Adapter Guide

FileSystem Adapter Configuration

This section will provide you details on how to configure a storage endpoint’s connection string to utilize the File System Adapter, which is standard with StoragePoint. 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.

FileSystem Adapter Connection String Parameters

Setting

Value/Options

Name
endpoint_Name_Field
Enter the unique name of the Storage or Backup Endpoint.

Type
endpoint_Type_Field

See Backup Services Settings in the Reference Guide for more information on how Backup Endpoints are used.
Primary – this endpoint will be available for externalization when creating storage profiles.

Backup – this endpoint will be in the Backup Services dropdown on the profile page.

The selection is locked down when saving.

Status

endpoint_status_field
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.

endpoint_adapter_filesystem
Select the adapter for the endpoint that is being created. The FileSystem adapter is installed with the core product by default.

endpoint_FS_Path_field
Enter an adapter-specific connection string in this box.

endpoint_FS_advanced_settings
Deletion Method - This option controls how BLOBS are deleted. Audit: Files are renamed. Normal: Files are deleted. Shred: Files are securely deleted.

Buffer Size - This option influences an internal buffer size and should not be changed unless directed by customer support.

Support Metadata - This option determines whether an extra 'xml' file with associated metadata is written out for each BLOB.

endpoint_worm_device
If the endpoint is on a WORM (Write Once, Read Many) device, the Unused BLOB Cleanup timer job will ignore this endpoint.

endpoint_foldering_and_Scheme
No – Externalized content BLOBs are not placed in folders (default).

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.

endpoint_test_settings_button
The Test Storage Settings button can be used at this point, or after completing the endpoint configuration, to verify that the endpoint is accessible.

endpoint__compression_field
No – Externalized content BLOBs are not compressed (default).

Yes – Externalized content BLOBs are compressed.

endpoint_encryption_method_field
None – Encryption will not be applied to externalized BLOBs (default).

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.

endpoint_encryption_passphrase
Enter a passphrase to use when generating the encryption key. Using a passphrase will help you re-create the encryption key if necessary. You can generate a random key by leaving the box blank and clicking the Generate Key button. The encryption key passphrase will be hidden.

endpoint_warning_and_offline_thresholds

A warning email can be sent if it encounters errors or is nearing capacity.
An online storage endpoint can be automatically taken offline if it encounters errors or is nearing capacity. If a storage endpoint is taken offline automatically, BLOBs that were intended to be written to that endpoint will go to the content database.

endpoint_Offline_notifications
Default email addresses for system error and offline notification can be entered. Check the box to include the list of Default Notification Contacts specified on the General Settings page.

Example Storage Endpoint using FileSystem Adapter

fs17

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.
fs18

info

NOTE: Adapter parameters are not case-sensitive.

info

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 Metalogix 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.

info

NOTE: When testing access to an endpoint (fileshare) 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 Metalogix StoragePoint Required Privileges in the Metalogix StoragePoint Reference Guide.

If the path you entered for your FileSystem storage endpoint is not in a UNC format, you will see this message when saving to verify that your storage endpoint is accessible by all the WFEs in your SharePoint farm.

FileSystem Adapter Connection String Options

The built-in FileSystem adapter in Metalogix StoragePoint has a number of options to enable specific diagnostic and enhanced functionality. These options must be specified as attributes in the Connection string on the storage endpoint.
