Installing QoreStor


IMPORTANT: The information in this topic is a summary of that found in the Quest QoreStor documentation. Procedures in this topic are abbreviated to provide a high-level overview of the installation process. Before installing QoreStor, review the full set of documentation, including:

•    Quest QoreStor Interoperability Guide

•    Quest QoreStor Installation Guide

•    Quest QoreStor User Guide

•    Quest QoreStor Command Line Reference Guide


Prerequisites

Before installing QoreStor, ensure that the following requirements have been met:

•    Review the QoreStor Installation Guide and QoreStor Interoperability Guide for information on system requirements and supported platforms. Ensure that the server on which you are installing QoreStor meets the installation requirements.

•    You must use a supported version of vRanger and QoreStor. For more information, see the Q.

•    Review the QoreStor Installation Guide and QoreStor Interoperability Guide for networking and port requirements.

Installing QoreStor

To install QoreStor:

1    Download QoreStor from the Quest website.

2    Copy the QoreStor installation files to the QoreStor server.

3    Set execution permissions on the installation files using chmod. For example:   

$ chmod a+x qs_inst_6.0.0.589.bin

4    With elevated privileges (either as root or with the sudo command), execute the installation script according to one of the two options below :

a    qs_inst_6.0.0.589.bin -- -f –p <repository_path> -m <metadata_path> --mode=<demo|cloud-optimized|standard|large> --accept-eula --install deps

where

-f specifies that the installer should automatically apply firewall rules to open the necessary ports l

-p <repository_path> specifies the repository path l

-m <metadata_path> specifies where the dictionary and journals should be stored.If not specified, the repository path will be used. l

--mode=<demo|cloud-optimized|standard|large> specifies the installation mode. Refer to the QoreStor Installation Guide for more information on installation modes.

demo: 100GB max storage, 1GB dictionary l

cloud-optimized: 43TB max storage, 64GB dictionary l

standard: 150TB max. storage, 256GB dictionary l

Large: 360TB max storage; 256GB dictionary l

–accept-eula: implicitly accepts the EULA and bypasses the prompt to accept the terms and conditions of the EULA

–install-deps: implicit permission to download and install the nfs-utils and policycoreutils packages if they are not already installed

b    $ sudo ./qs_inst_6.0.0.589.bin

and follow the prompts to:

▫    provide a path for the storage directory

▫    [Optional] provide a separate path for metadata storage

▫    select an installation mode. Refer to QoreStor installation modes for more information

▫    add firewall exceptions

Logging in to QoreStor

To access the UI, you must connect via a supported browser.

1    In a supported browser, navigate to https://<hostname:5233>


NOTE: You can use either the host IP or hostname.


2    Log in with the default credentials:

▪    username: admin

▪    password: St0r@ge!

Configuring your QoreStor server

The information below is summarized for ease of use. For detailed configuration information, see the QoreStor User Guide.

The information presented in Managing storage groups and containers is specific to the integration with vRanger. For more information on integrating vRanger with a Quest Rapid Data Access (RDA) repository, see the Quest vRanger User Guide.

Installing a License

You can add a license to QoreStor through either the QoreStor GUI or the command line interface.

To install a license:

1    In the navigation menu click System Configuration.

2    Scroll to the License Information section at the bottom of the page.

3    Click Upload License.

4    Click Choose File and select the license file. Click Open.

5    Click Apply.


NOTE: You may also install a QoreStor license from the command line interface using the command:

system --license [--show] [--verbose] [--validate] [--file <path>] [--add] [--file <path>]

Refer to the QoreStor Command Line Reference Guide for more information.


Managing storage groups and containers

To organize your data, you can easily create storage groups and create containers within those storage groups on your QoreStor system. A storage group allows you to create separate storage policies for different data groups and the different capacities utilized on a single QoreStor. After initialization, QoreStor contains a single default storage groupe named DefaultGroup.

In QoreStor, data is stored in containers, which are stored in storage groups. Some containers function like a shared file system. These types of containers can be assigned a specific connection type, for example, NFS/CIFS or RDA (including both OST and RDS clients). Containers can then be accessed using NFS, CIFS, or RDA.


IMPORTANT: For the most beneficial integration with vRanger, an RDA connection should be used.


Creating a storage container


NOTE: QoreStor does not support creating container names that begin with a 0 (zero).


Containers function like a shared file system that can be accessed using the following connection types:

•    NFS/CIFS

•    NFS

•    CIFS

•    RDA

•    RDS

Creating an RDS connection type container

To create an OST or RDS connection type container, follow these steps:

1    On the navigation menu, click Storage Groups, and then select the storage group for which you want to create a container. (If you are only using the DefaultGroup storage group on your QoreStor system, you do not need to select a group.)

2    In the storage group list, click the storage group to which you want to add a container. Click Add Container.

3    For the container Name, type the name of the container, and then click Next.

Container names cannot exceed 32 characters in length, must start with a letter, and can be composed of any combination of the following characters: l

▪    A-Z (uppercase letters)

▪    a-z (lowercase letters) l

▪    0-9 (numbers). Do not start a container name with a number. l

▪    dash (-) or underscore (_) special characters


IMPORTANT: QoreStor does not support creating container names that begin with a 0 (zero) or that include the following special characters /, #, or @.


4    For Protocol, select Quest Rapid Data Storage (RDS).

5    Click Next.

6    Leave LSU Capacity as Unlimited.

7    Click Finish.
