Modifying advanced component settings

  1. Go to the Storage Components page.

  2. Click an S Series Node.

  3. On the Storage Node page that opens, click the Advanced tab.

  4. Configure the following options:

    • Use HTTPS

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

    • HTTPS 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.

    • HTTP Port

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

    • Use 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 user name of the proxy server.

      • Proxy Password

        In the Proxy Password field, type the password of the proxy server.

      • Proxy Domain

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

    • Connection 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.

    • Socket 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.

    • Max Connections

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

    • Max Error Retries

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

    • User Agent

      In the User Agent field, type the user agent.

    • TCP Send Buffer Size Hint

      In the TCP Send Buffer Size Hint field, type the optional size hint (in bytes) for the low-level TCP send buffers.

    • TCP 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.

    • Enable 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.

    • Maximum object size (GB)

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

    • Enable multipart object uploads

      Allows HCP to write objects to the S Series Node using multipart object upload. Starting with release 2.0 of the S Series Node, multipart upload is automatically disabled by the system and, under normal circumstances, should not be enabled. 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.

    • Support Metadata

      Whether the extended storage component supports S3 metadata on objects. If you are unsure whether S3 metadata is supported, contact your service provider.

    • Max 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 6,144 bytes.

      Note

      Support Metadata and Max metadata size options only work for S Series Nodes release 2.0 or later. When you upgrade an S Series Node to release 2.0 or later, the metadata settings take effect within twenty-four hours.

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

    • If you want to save your configuration, click Update Settings.
    • If you want to restore the page to its default settings, click Reset Advanced Settings.
