d.
Enter the name of the
Bucket
to use to store the data on the BlackPearl system. If the
bucket does not exist, it is automatically created.
Notes:
• The bucket name cannot contain a colon (:), forward slash (/), or space.
• The bucket name cannot exceed 255 characters.
• If you plan to modify files in the NAS volume you must enter the name of the
bucket with a data policy that uses versioning. See
• If the bucket data policy includes a replication rule for an Amazon S3 or
Microsoft Azure target, the bucket name must also conform to the naming
conventions of that cloud provider.
IMPORTANT
BlackPearl bucket names are case sensitive, but for some cloud targets, bucket
names must be all lower case. The BlackPearl software changes bucket names
with upper case letters to all lower case letters when needed. If you are using
bucket names that only differ by case, the buckets are combined on the cloud
target. For example, the BlackPearl buckets 'Index' and 'index' both map to the
cloud bucket 'index', causing possible data collision and bucket
ownership/permission problems.
