Configuring an RDS direct-to-cloud container

You can configure an RDS container as a direct-to-cloud container using either the QoreStor UI or the command line interface (CLI).

Configuring a direct-to-cloud container in the QoreStor UI

To add a direct cloud container in the QoreStor UI

  1. In the navigation menu, click Containers .
  2. On the Containers page, click Add Container.
  3. In the Add Container window, select the following options:
    1. For Protocol, select Quest Rapid Data Storage (RDS).
    2. For Name, enter the name of the direct cloud container.
    3. For Storage Group, select one of the following options:
      • DefaultCloudTier - Online Cloud Storage
      • DefaultCloudArchiveTier - Offline Long-term Cloud Storage
    4.   Click Next.
  4. On the next page, for Protocol RDS Capacity, select Unlimited, and then click Next.
  5. On the next page, for User, enter the name of the user you want to access the container, and then click Next.
  6. On the Summary page, confirm your selections, and then click Finish.

    The container appears on the Cloud Storage page and available to use as storage from the NetVault UI.

Configuring a direct-to-cloud container using the CLI

To configure a direct-to-cloud container using the CLI

  1. In the CLI, if you want to create a container in the cloud storage group, enter the following command:

    container --add --name K<name> --group_name DefaultCloudTier

  2. If you want to create a container in the archive storage group, enter the following command:

    container --add --name K<name> --group_name DefaultCloudArchiveTier

    The container appears on the Cloud Storage page of the QoreStor UI and available to use as storage from the NetVault UI.

Adding a Cloud storage group

You can add a cloud tier to QoreStor through either the QoreStor GUI or the command line interface. For more information on Cloud Storage Groups and cloud replication, refer to the topics below:

Adding a Cloud Tier through the GUI

IMPORTANT: Your cloud storage must be configured prior to completing this procedure.

The procedures for adding a cloud tier differ slightly based on the cloud storage provider. Review the procedure for your cloud storage provider:

Adding a Microsoft Azure cloud tier

To add a Microsoft Azure cloud storage group, complete the following steps:

  1. In the navigation menu, click Cloud Storage to expand the menu, then click Cloud Tier.
  2. Click Configure.
  3. In the Cloud Provider drop-down, select Azure Blob.
  4. Provide a container name. This is the name of your existing Azure container.
  5. Enter your Cloud Connection String.

    NOTE: The Connection String can be found in your Azure portal under Storage Accounts >Access keys > Connection string.

  6. Enable Cloud Locking : Select this option to achieve immutability of data tiered to the cloud.

    NOTE:Cloud Locking works with RDA and Object containers only. Data that is set as immutable on the local storage is also set as immutable when tiered to the cloud.

    Enabling locking at the Cloud Tier is required so the containers that are tiering data to this Cloud Tier can choose to enable locking as part of their cloud tiering policy.

  7. To apply encryption, in the Cloud Tier Encryption section enter the following:
    • Passphrase — the passphrase is user-defined and is used to generate a passphrase key that encrypts the file in which the content encryption keys are kept. The passphrase is a human readable key, which can be up to 255 bytes in length. It is mandatory to define a passphrase to enable encryption.

      IMPORTANT: It is mandatory to define a passphrase to enable encryption. If the passphrase is compromised or lost, the administrator should change it immediately so that the content encryption keys do not become vulnerable. If this passphrase is lost or forgotten, data in the cloud will be unrecoverable.

    • Confirm Passphrase — re-enter the passphrase used above.
  8. Click Configure. A Cloud Storage Group will be created.
  9. To enable replication to the cloud, you must link a local container to the cloud using the procedures in Adding a cloud tiering policy.
