Chapter 4 - Configuring Advanced Bucket Management
Create a Replication Target
5.
Enter a
Data Path End Point
(system name or IP address) or a
Region
to identify the
remote Amazon S3 target.
Acceptable regions are:
Note:
Dashes (-) in the standard AWS S3 region code must be replaced by
underscores (_) in the text entered in the Region field.
• us_east_1
• us_east_2
• us_west_1
• us_west_2
• eu_west_1
• eu_west_2
• eu_central_1
• ap_south_1
• ap_southeast_1
• ap_southeast_2
• ap_northeast_1
• ap_northeast_2
• sa_east_1
• cn_north_1
• ca_central_1
• gov_cloud
Notes:
• If you enter both a
Data Path End Point
and a
Region
, the system uses the
Data
Path End Point
and ignores the
Region
.
• You cannot use the same
Data Path End Point
or
Region
for multiple Amazon
S3 targets.
6.
By default,
HTTPS
is selected so that the replication uses a secure connection. If desired,
clear
HTTPS
to use HTTP.
7.
Enter the S3 Access Key of a user with administrator privileges for the Amazon S3
account in the
Access Key
field.
Note:
Administrator credentials are used to configure and maintain the source/target
relationship. They are not used for user driven replication operations.
8.
In the
Secret Key
field, enter the S3 Secret Key of the user you entered in
9.
Optionally, enter a
Cloud Bucket Prefix
and/or
Cloud Bucket Suffix
. Bucket names on the
BlackPearl system must be unique within the system, but bucket names in AWS S3 must
be unique across the world. To permit friendlier, shorter local bucket names on the
BlackPearl system while avoiding naming conflicts with AWS S3, the system adds the
defined
Cloud Bucket Prefix
and
Cloud Bucket Suffix
to the BlackPearl bucket name when
it replicates the bucket. For example, if
Cloud Bucket Prefix
=
prefix
,
Cloud Bucket
Suffix
=
suffix
, and the bucket name=
name
, the resulting name of the bucket on the
Amazon S3 target is
prefix-name-suffix
.
Note:
The prefix and/or suffix must adhere to the replication target naming
requirements.
