clip0042

Enter the information as described below:

a.Centera IP Addresses - Insert all IP addresses of your Centera Cluster. Use commas to separate IP addresses.

b.Embedded blobs - When a file is stored two files are created internally - one XML file which contains the meta-data and a second file for the data itself. This means that each file that is stored, increments the file-count on Centera by two. If you store lots of small files, Centera can run out of a file-count before it runs out of disk space. With these settings multiple files upto the specified size are collated and embedded in the meta-data file and the data is saved as a base 64 encoded data.

c.Open connection to Centera as needed (Lazy open) - Select this check box to open the Centera connection at the very last moment possible. This is done by the Centera SDK itself and is a setting recommended by EMC.

d.Run interface in separate process - Select this check box to let the Centera instance run in its own process. That way, two different connections to Centera won't affect each other. If a connection is broken, it can be restarted without the need to restart HSM.

6.Click Next.
