Introduction

This document describes how to configure the HP StoreAll Storage 6.5 for use with iCAS software.

HP StoreAll Storage overview HP StoreAll Storage enables you to tame and mine unstructured data. StoreAll Storage is a hyperscale and economic platform that scales up to 16 PB of capacity, and billions of objects and file in a single namespace while enabling policy-based tiering and scale-out pay as you grow your architecture. Delivering structure for unstructured data, StoreAll Storage instantly harnesses the value extraction of your data with custom metadata tagging and ultra-fast search at petabyte scale with Express Query.

The StoreAll Storage platforms are turnkey appliances comprising the following components. A couplet represents the physical foundation of the StoreAll Storage architecture. A couplet comprises a pair of nodes combined with shared storage. Multiple couplets are bound together into a scale-out cluster with a distributed file engine. StoreAll Storage gives you the flexibility to create either a single file system or multiple file systems to host shares that can be made available to clients via file and object modes using a broad portfolio of data access protocols.

A rich set of data services are built on its robust and massively scalable foundation. StoreAll data services relevant to this overall archive solution include those shown in figure 1.

Figure 1. StoreAll data services

Fusion Manager, which maintains a persistent and consistent view of the StoreAll Storage cluster environment, manages the StoreAll Storage system configuration and all file systems. Fusion Manager provides both GUI and CLI for managing the StoreAll Storage solution. Additionally, Fusion Manager is involved in all StoreAll Storage cluster maintenance and service operations such as failover, replication, and statistics gathering. It also controls tasks like cluster membership, file system creation, file system allocation policies, local users, and other StoreAll Storage cluster services.

In short, Fusion Manager, which runs on any active cluster node, coordinates and synchronizes all StoreAll processing and operational tasks across the entire cluster. In the event that the active Fusion Manager node leaves the cluster, through either planned or unplanned circumstances, one of the remaining StoreAll nodes automatically becomes the active Fusion Manager node. This maintains the integrity of the highly available and high-performing HP StoreAll Storage solution and thereby provides an enterprise-class storage platform.

HP StoreAll Storage models The StoreAll Storage family consists of the HP StoreAll 8800 Storage models, as well as HP StoreAll 8200 Gateway Storage. HP StoreAll Storage is targeted toward the diverse needs of the HP archive customers. These StoreAll Storage systems, each of which includes options for multiple disk capacities and geometries, deliver a properly sized, flexible, simple, and powerful archive storage platform for enterprise information archival. Solution designs may include one or more of the following models with one or more different capacity and performance options.

HP StoreAll 8200 Gateway Storage

HP StoreAll 8200 Gateway Storage enables you to leverage investments in HP 3PAR StoreServ Storage for file archiving, while integrating seamlessly with HP StoreAll 8800 Storage. HP 3PAR StoreServ 7000 and 10000 Storage supported via Fibre Channel enables converged capacity pool for primary storage and archives.

HP StoreAll 8800 Enterprise SAS Storage

HP StoreAll 8800 Enterprise SAS Storage is converged hyperscale, economic, ultra-dense appliance that can be flexibly configured. This is an ideal storage platform for active archive operations that require a reliable, scalable, and high-performing solution. It is capable of handling application workload of heavier read and write. In addition, storage is highly reliable to sustain heavier duty cycle. StoreAll 8800 Enterprise SAS is a performance-driven storage.

HP StoreAll 8800 MDL SAS Storage

HP StoreAll 8800 MDL SAS Storage is converged hyperscale, harnessed, instant, and economic storage to provide structure for unstructured data. This is an ideal storage platform for deep archive operations with configurable 1 or 2 MDL SAS capacity blocks. Being a capacity-driven storage with low duty cycle, StoreAll 8800 MDL SAS Storage is best suited for archival and compliance purposes.

HP StoreAll 8800 Hybrid Storage

HP StoreAll 8800 Hybrid Storage is converged hyperscale and harnessed storage to provide structure for unstructured data. This is an ideal storage platform for hybrid or tiered archive operations with configurable 1 to 4 Enterprise SAS capacity blocks and 1 MDL SAS capacity block per node pair.

HP StoreAll Storage data services While StoreAll Storage possesses an extensive array of data services, the data services highlighted below are best leveraged for the HP StoreAll Storage with a specific ISV application based solution.

Protection StoreAll Storage enables real-time snapshots for instantaneous point-in-time archive data recovery at a directory or file system level. This means that the enterprise information archival environment retains a local recovery point of the directory or file system to recover the environment within minutes of a point of failure.

To maintain data integrity within the enterprise information archival environment, StoreAll Constant Validation helps confirm that the file has not been modified through either hardware or software errors or through malicious intent for a retention-enabled file system, and reports on any discrepancies.

Retention The StoreAll Storage enterprise Write Once, Read Many (WORM) and retention capability meets most corporate compliance requirements. With an enterprise WORM-enabled file system, these files prevent both inadvertent and deliberate attempts to delete, modify, or manipulate file content or metadata within an enterprise or corporate compliance environment.

The StoreAll Storage platform governs data based on its internal retention policies. Maintaining this strict control enables the application to purge files only after the retention policy has expired. Retention policies in “Enterprise Mode” can be extended, but the retention duration cannot be reduced.


5

Mobility StoreAll Storage’s non-disruptive automated policy-based data tiering enables performance and capacity improvement over the life of the data. For instance, a file or set of files, whether governed by a retention policy or not, can be tiered from a performance StoreAll model (i.e., HP StoreAll 8800 Enterprise SAS Storage) to a deep archive StoreAll model (i.e., HP StoreAll 8800 MDL SAS Storage) as capacity and cost requirements dictate.

The StoreAll Storage has continuous remote replication (CRR) that enables replication of enterprise information archival data for a disaster recovery option. This enables a copy of the archival environment to be protected and maintained at a remote data center in the event of a disaster at the primary site.

Management StoreAll Storage’s quota management provides user-level and directory-level granular control over storage consumption to properly manage resource allocation and protect against runaway applications.

The StoreAll Storage solution’s statistical tools can report on utilization and performance over time, as archive demand grows. This enables archival environments to plan the growth and resource utilization properly as demands change.

iCAS overview iTernity Compliant Archive (iCAS) is a storage middleware that enables compliant archiving and data encryption by legal standards. With the patented and certified content storage container (CSC) technology, the solution provides (WORM functionality for data protection by using future-proof HMAC-SHA-512-bit hashes. The CSC technology compiles the archived data and documents with its corresponding index data, creation date, and retention date into a data container, which remains verifiable and can be stored on any storage medium. It combines the advantages of a content-addressable-storage system with the flexibility and transparency of a file share. The flexibility and openness of iCAS on HP gives customers the advantage of using existing or newly acquired storage capacity more efficiently, and saving costs as hardware, software, and training investments are protected.

The archiving technology from iTernity (iCAS) provides an open archiving platform based on the complete portfolio of HP servers and storage systems. This solution delivers a new level of simplicity, integration, and automation that lowers costs and risk while enabling better utilization of information assets.

iCAS terminology The iTernity Compliant Archive Solution offers you the following benefits:

• Object-oriented data integrity via hash values: iCAS uses HMAC-SHA-512-bit hashes to secure the integrity of archived data.

• Integrated data encryption: iCAS offers an integrated but optional AES256 encryption enabling additional security for stored data.

• Modular and transparent pay-as-you-grow licensing: The license model is based on a node license per each node iCAS is running on, combined with a volume license for the data volume that must be archived. The demand can be adjusted to the actual needs. The hardware independence of iCAS enables sustained use of the archive license. Hardware replacement requires no renewed licensing.

• Data replication without additional licensing: For safety reasons, company internal audit rules often require duplication of one or more sites. iCAS enables this by using another backup path to a different site. Alternatively, standard storage tools (for example, array-based replication or server-based replication) can be used to replicate the archived data to any remote site. No additional iCAS licenses are needed to write on a second site.

• Self-healing: When iCAS is writing the archive data to two different locations, the system can audit the integrity of the data by comparing the content with the hash value. If the data on one site is corrupt, iCAS can automatically copy the valid data and overwrite the corrupt files. Certainly all these processes are logged transparently.

• Scalability: iCAS scales seamlessly from gigabyte to petabyte. The iCAS on HP archiving platform is scalable for midmarket and enterprise businesses, making it ideal for new implementations of any size. Cluster configurations enable a high data throughput, availability, and security for archive operations.

• Data migration without downtimes: iCAS enables secure and fast data migration during regular operation on storage level. A special copy tool allows compliant data migration by logging the migration process and verifying the copied data. iCAS is based on open industry standards, which enables your data can be migrated into future storage architectures and technologies.


6

• Supports virtual machines (VMware®, Microsoft® Hyper-V Citrix®, and Xen®): The iCAS solution itself can also be virtualized; technologies such as VMware, Citrix, Xen, and Microsoft Hyper-V are fully supported. iCAS enables a comprehensive virtualization of the entire archive infrastructure and offers users the complete range of associated advantages with regard to flexibility and economy.

• Secure data shredder: Once the retention period has expired, the data can be deleted according to the specifications of the U.S. Department of Defense (DoD), i.e., fully destroyed by means of multiple overwrites with changing bit patterns.

• Multi-subscriber capability: The multi-subscriber capability of iCAS on HP allows departments, subsidiaries, and customers to archive separately. Different storage paths can be defined for each subscriber, enabling spatial separation of the individual data stacks.

• Addressable by numerous content sources (ERP, DMS, mail): iCAS supports more than 50 applications (for example, various PACS, ECM-Systems such as OpenText and Symantec Enterprise Vault, and more) permitting iCAS on HP to be used in a wide range of applications and markets.

• Accessible via different interfaces: In addition to the easy-to-integrate Web Service API Interface, iCAS provides a file system interface iTernity File System Gateway (iFSG). iFSG can also be configured using the iAdmin tool and it enables WORM functionality without the need of integrating into the ISVs’ program code.

• Easy and efficient archive backup: Since the iCAS archive is stored on standard file systems, all backup facilities are available.

HP StoreAll Storage and iCAS The combination of HP StoreAll Storage and iTernity Compliant Archive Solution (iCAS) software delivers a flexible information management solution offering simplified and agile retention of data across backup and archives. This solution balances cost and performance through seamless as well as unified archiving of data across multiple storage tiers, while enabling tamper-proof data retention, and seamless access and recovery. With this solution, businesses can better harness information to reduce risk, improve decision-making, and realize productivity gains.

In case of problems during configuration and archiving, contact [email protected]

Archival process Archival is done to make the files WORM-enabled and to retain them for fixed period, by leveraging the WORM/Retention capabilities of iCAS. Once WORM-enabled, the archived files remains read-only until the retention period expires.

The archival process includes the following:

1. Select the Mark Files as Read-Only option.

2. Configure iCAS base and archive path through the iAdmin Console.

3. Click the Edit iCAS Base Settings to configure the primary storage location (See Figure 2).

4. Configure the repository (See Figure 3).

Note A file that is in the WORM state cannot be modified or deleted within the retention period.

To archive a file using iCAS:

1. Open the virtual drive (I:) iTernity File System Gateway, which is created by default after the iCAS installation.

2. The iTernity File System Gateway will have many shares in it, which will be accessed by many clients like CIFS share.

3. Navigate to iTernity File System Gateway >CEYONIQ (or any shares) and select the Mark files as read only.

4. If the file Attributes is Read Only (RO), then the file is archived completely.

5. Verify in the archive location whether the archived file exists.

Restore process To restore a file:

1. On the iCAS server, navigate to the iTernity File System Gateway >CEYONIQ (or any shares), which has archived files

2. Double-click the archived file, which will restore the file from the repository.

iCAS best practices

1. General

– A suitable backup or mirroring solution for the iCAS server needs to be used, as RAID cannot be protected against a total system failure, such as fire or water damage.

– Frequently check the logs of the iCAS heads and the appliances, respectively. This allows a quick reaction on warnings and errors. You can use the email notification service for this purpose.

– Multipath volumes must have a minimum capacity of one terabyte. It is recommended to use the maximum capacity possible for the volume or file system type. Volumes must only be part of one repository (if there is a plan to increase the LUN size later, the last LUN is excluded from this recommendation).

– When using multipath repositories archive and additional write paths must use volumes of roughly the same size. Archiving is done until the smaller volume is full. Then, the next path pair is used for writing. A specific path can only be used within a particular repository.

– There must be a distinct repository for clearly separated, large units, such as separation of different departments (HR, accounting, and such). Only a few users (less than five iCAS accounts or shares) must be created per repository, possibly with different rights (read/write/admin). We recommend having less than 100 users.

– If encryption is desired, it is best to use AES256. This provides the highest level of security, with minimal extra effort compared to the standard encryption.

– The compression achieved is comparable to those achieved by WinZip. Tiff Group 4/JPEG are very bad to compress and WinWord/Excel are very good to compress.

– In general, compression, encryption, and HTTPS (only with the API) do reduce performance. Maximum performance can be reached using no compression, no encryption, and HTTPS. You have to decide how much security or speed is needed to get the best performance. We recommend using message transmission optimization mechanism (MTOM).

2. iFSG Interface

– iCAS can handle archiving files greater than 4 GB. However, for best performance we recommend archiving files smaller than 1 GB in size. This performance can be reached with files between 4 MB and 100 MB. For files larger than 100 MB, we recommend using the asynchronous “On Policies” archive mode.

– No more than 10000 files must be put into a single folder, as the mapping of filename and common service center (CSC)-ID are optimized for that size. This is not a problem for Document Management System (DMS)/ Enterprise Content Management (ECM), because this is the same principle as used in jukeboxes so far. Other than for performance reasons, there is no general limit on how many files you put in a folder.

– The entire, absolute path to a file must not exceed 256 characters. Umlauts and special characters must be avoided. These restrictions are also well-known jukebox restrictions.

– During a high network load, the offline bit might be delayed in display, usually for not more than 10 seconds. Generally, we recommend running the iCAS server and its storage within a separated network, especially in collaboration with time-critical applications.

– Since using the file system gateway requires one container per file, we recommend the Space & Backup optimization, as long as the archived files are smaller than 20 MB.

– The ideal archive mode is On Read Only. If that is not possible, use one of the other two synchronous modes (On Close, On Close Plus). These offer good security measures. For better performance, use the asynchronous On Policy.

– Data verification needs to be performed by the writing applications (DMS, ECM, and such) after files have been written to the archive. This is necessary to rule out any transmission errors to the iCAS application due to faulty network components. iCAS has no control over this part of the data path to the iCAS system, so the accessing application has to perform this check itself.

– If you do not use a synchronous mode (On Read Only, On Close, On Close Plus) and the accessing system does not check the correct writing, we recommend to perform the Read after Write function.

Note Select the option None, only if a synchronous mode is used or the application waits for the offline bit to appear.

– A network connection (CIFS, SMB, and NFS) to the iFSG drive needs to be secured as tightly as possible. Only accessing applications must be allowed.


12

3. API/Web service Interface

– For security reasons, we recommend using the HTTPS protocol if you connect over the API.

– To verify if a container was written correctly, we recommend calling the VerifyCsc function directly after the write process finishes. For 100% security, you need to read the content from the container back and compare that against the original file. This is the only way to exclude errors securely, which for example could have occurred through faulty network components.

– In general, compression, encryption, and HTTPS do reduce performance. Maximum performance can be reached by using no compression, no encryption, and HTTPS. You have to decide how much security or speed is needed. To get the best performance, we recommend using MTOM.

– The recommended size of CSC containers is between 1 MB and 64 MB. Containers must not contain more than 1000 files. The advantage of the container technology (reduction of file overhead) can only be used by saving multiple files into one container. A single file storage container can produce a small file overhead.

4. Third-party software/ System integration

– The servers running the iCAS software must only be used in a well-equipped data center. The latter must have sufficient cooling and access must be restricted as necessary. It would be best to run an UPS for uninterrupted power usage.

– Integration into an existing Windows domain is possible, but not recommended for compliance reasons. If you decide on such a setup, you must disable the log on rights for the domain admin to the iCAS system.

– The administrative login must always be performed under the “four eyes” principle. Therefore, it is recommended that the iCAS administrator and the compliance manager only know the two differing halves of the administrative system password.

– A virus scanner can be implemented on the system to avoid data loss.

Note All archive paths as well as the iFSG base paths must be excluded from a scan. The iFSG drive must not be scanned under any circumstances, as this will lead to a significant performance reduction.

– We recommend frequently checking the Windows Event Logs of the iCAS systems.

– Backup Clients can be installed on the iCAS system. All archive paths and iFSG Base Paths must be backed up. The iFSG drive (I :\) must not be backed up, because it shows the virtual archive information that was already saved via the archive paths. A backup of the iFSG drive would also lead to a loss of the compliance information (a backup of the archive path on the other hand keeps this information).

– Only applications certified for iCAS or from iTernity must be used.

– In general, the SOAP API is preferable over the file system gateway.

– If the accessing application has a verify-after-write function, it must be used.

– All instructions for the accessing applications (ECM, DMS, and others) need to be followed. The applications have to be configured correctly. A person certified by the manufacturer or in-house must do the configuration.
