StoragePoint 6.1 - Caringo CAStor Adapter Guide

CAStor Adapter Configuration

This section will provide you details on how to configure a storage endpoint’s connection string to utilize the CAStor 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.

CAStor Adapter Connection String Parameters

Setting

Value/Options

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

Type
castor2
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.

See Backup Services Settings in the Reference Guide for more information on how Backup Endpoints are used.

Status
castor3
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.

castor4
Select the adapter for the endpoint that is being created.

castor5
IP or DNS name chosen at the time your storage solution was provisioned which represents the CAStor system or specific node to be used.  This can also be a comma separated list of CAStor node addresses if working with a cluster.

Single host examples:

mycluster.company.com

Or

192.168.1.42

High Availability Example (in this case three hosts):

192.168.1.10, 192.168.1.20, 192.168.1.30

castor6
The port number used to communicate with the CAStor instance. Default=80.

castor7
Specifies the number of attempts to retry the network connection to CAStor before returning a failure result in case of network disruption or connectivity issues. Default = 5.

castor8
Number of milliseconds to wait for a response to any request before considering it an excessively long wait and raising an error condition. Default = 300.

castor10
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.

castor12
The Test Storage Settings button can be used at this point, or after completing the endpoint configuration, to verify that the endpoint is accessible.

castor13
No – Externalized content BLOBs are not compressed (default).

Yes – Externalized content BLOBs are compressed.

castor14
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.

castor15
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.

castor18
A warning email can be sent if it encounters errors.

castor19
An online storage endpoint can be automatically taken offline if it encounters errors. If a storage endpoint is taken offline automatically, BLOBs that were intended to be written to that endpoint will go to the content database.

castor20
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 CAStor Adapter

castor21

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.

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 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.
