Choose the ingest tier

The default ingest tier for HCP is primary running storage. If you have HCP S Series Node on your HCP system, you can select S Series storage pools as the ingest tier of a service plan. This means that all objects ingested through namespaces under that service plan are written directly to S Series Nodes rather than primary running storage. Regardless of the ingest tier, HCP keeps all object metadata on primary running storage.

If one or more namespaces on the service plan have ingested data through CIFS, NFS, or WebDAV, the service plan ingest tier cannot be changed to HCP S Series. Likewise, NFS, CIFS, and WebDAV cannot be enabled on namespaces that have HCP S Series set as the ingest tier.

Note

The following services do not process objects ingested or tiered to S Series storage: Compression/Encryption, Content Verification, Duplicate Elimination, Shredding, hardware encryption, Capacity Balancing, and Scavenging.
