2.Click on an S Series Node.

3.On the StorageNode page that opens, click on the Advanced tab.

4.Configure the following options:

oUse HTTPS — To use HTTP with SSL security for data access requests, select Use HTTPS.

oHTTPS Port — In the HTTPS Port field, type the Port you want to use to connect to the S Series Node with SSL requests. The default is 443.

oHTTP Port — In the HTTP Port field, type the Port you want to use to connect to the S Series Node. The default is 80.

oUse proxy — Optionally, select Use proxy to connect to the S Series Node. If you select Use proxy:

Proxy Host - In the Proxy Host field, type the hostname or IP address of the proxy server.

Proxy Port — In the Proxy Port number field, type the number of the proxy server. The default is 0.

Proxy Username — In the Proxy Username field, type the username of the proxy server.

Proxy Domain — In the Proxy Domain field, type the AD domain of the proxy server.

oConnection Timeout (ms) — In the Connection Timeout (ms) field, type the wait time you want to permit a connection to respond before the connection times out.

oSocket Timeout (ms) — In the Socket Timeout (ms) field, type the amount of time you want to wait for data to be transferred over an open connection before the connection closes.

oMax Connections — In the Max Connections field, type the max connection pool size.

oMax Error Retries — In the Max Error Retries field, type the maximum allowable error retries.

oUser Agent — In the User Agent field, type the user agent.

oTCP Receive Buffer Size Hint — In the TCP Receive Buffer Size Hint field, type the optional size hint (in bytes) for the low-level TCP receive buffers.

oEnable additional data integrity validation — Select this option if you want the S Series Node to check the md5 hash of every object it receives against the hash generated by HCP when writing the object. If the hashes do not match, the object fails to tier.

oMaximum object size (GB) — In the Maximum object size (GB) field, type the maximum allowable object size.

oEnable multipart object uploads — Allows HCP to write objects to the S Series Node using multipart object upload. Starting with version 2 of S series Nodes the multipart upload speeds are automatically disabled by the system. It is not recommended to enable Multipart upload. If you choose to configure Enable multipart object uploads:

Multipart object upload size threshold (MB) — In the Multipart object upload size threshold (MB) field, type the object size threshold you want HCP to use to determine when to employ a multipart upload.

Multipart object upload part size (MB) — In the Multipart object upload part size (MB) field, type the part size of a single part of a multipart object upload.

oWhether the extended storage component to supports S3 metadata on objects. Please contact your service provider if you are unsure whether S3 metadata is supported.

oMax metadata size — In the Max metadata size field, type the maximum size (in bytes) of S3 metadata files that will be attached to objects written to S Series Nodes. S Series Nodes permit a maximum size of 6144 bytes.

Note: The Support Metadata and Max metadata size options only work for HCP S Series Nodes release version 2 or later. If you upgrade an S Series Node to version 2 or later, the metadata settings will take effect within twenty four hours.

5.Once you are finished, perform one of the following actions:

oIf you want to save your configuration, click on the Update Settings button.
