Tiers

It includes:

Tiers

By configuring the cloud tier, you are associating the primary storage (data on OES server) and cloud storage to perform the data migration. Using tier configuration, you can run the policy at a scheduled time.

Configuring Cloud Tiers

Click the Tiers tab, then click Tiers.

  1. Click to configure the tier.

  2. Specify the following:

    1. Server: Select the OES server. This lists the OES servers that are configured with CIS server where agent is running and also includes the cluster resources.

    2. Volume: Select a volume.

    3. Endpoint: Select the required cloud account name.

    4. Bucket Name: Specify the bucket name used to store the migrated data for account. You can access your AWS and S3 cloud account to find the bucket name.

    5. Container Name: Specify the container name used to store the migrated data for Azure cloud account. You can access your Azure cloud account to find the container name.

    6. Region: Select the region where the specified bucket name is available.

    7. Encryption: Configure the encryption settings to enable this parameter. If enabled, encrypts the migrated data in the cloud storage.

      For more information on encryption settings, see Encryption.

    8. Policy: Select the required policy to be applied.

    9. Schedule: Select the schedule type based on how frequently the policy should be run for the tier. It includes the following: Daily, Weekly, Monthly, Once, and None.

      As a best practice, you can limit the duration of run to four hours everyday or run during the weekend to minimize the load on the OES servers. It is recommended that you do not migrate the data when users are accessing the data.

      To limit the duration of the schedule run, select Time duration for the schedule run option and specify the time duration.

  3. Click SAVE.

Managing Cloud Tiers

Click the Tiers tab to view all the cloud tiers.

  • If the schedule type is None, click to start the data migration.

  • To stop the data migration, click the rotating icon .

    The next time, you start the data migration process for the same tier, the remaining data is migrated to the cloud storage.

  • To rerun the policy for the tier, click .

  • To view statistics for the tier:

    1. Click .

      Displays information of the migrated files from the previous job run (each time the schedule starts at a specified time, a new job run is created). The statistic information includes:

      • Status: Provides the status of data migration.

      • Start Time: Provides the data migration start time.

      • End Time: Provides the data migration completion time.

      • Files Migrated: The total number of files migrated.

      • Data Size: Lists the overall size of the data migrated for each volume.

      For more information on detailed reports, see Dashboard.

    2. If no files are migrated, click Latest Migration to view the statistic information for the previous job run.

  • To modify the tier:

    1. Click on the tier you want to modify.

    2. Click UPDATE.

  • To delete the tier:

    1. Click on the tier you want to delete.

      If data migration is not performed on this tier, click OK to delete.

      If data migration is performed on this tier, select the desired action:

      • Recall files and delete: This recalls all files (migrated as part of this tier) from the cloud and automatically deletes the tier.

      • Force delete: This deletes the tier and CBV volume associated with this tier without recalling files. The data (migrated as part of this tier) is lost and cannot be recovered.

    2. If you select the Recall files and delete action, choose the schedule to recall files and then click Recall.

      OR

      If you select the Force delete action, click Delete.

Migrate from DST

Based on the DST migrate tier details, the data is migrated from the DST shadow volume to the cloud storage. By default, an internal policy is applied to migrate all files in the DST shadow volume.

Configuring DST Migrate Tier

Click the Tiers tab, then click Migrate from DST.

IMPORTANT:Before configuring the tier, ensure to disable the DST policies. For more information, see CIS Administration Guide.

  1. Click to configure the tier.

  2. Specify the following:

    1. Server: Select the OES server. This lists the OES servers that are configured with CIS server where agent is running and also includes the cluster resources.

    2. Volume: Select a volume.

    3. Endpoint: Select the required cloud account name.

    4. Bucket Name: Specify the bucket name to be used to store the migrated data. The bucket name can be obtained from your cloud account.

    5. Region: Select the region where the specified bucket name is available.

    6. Encryption: To enable this parameter, configure the encryption settings. If enabled, encrypts the migrated data in the cloud storage.

      For more information on encryption settings, see Encryption.

    7. Schedule: Select the schedule type based on how frequently the policy should be run for the tier. It includes the following: Daily, Weekly, Monthly, Once and None.

      As a best practice, you can limit the duration of run to four hours everyday or run during the weekend to minimize the load on the OES servers. It is recommended that you do not migrate the data when users are accessing the data.

      To limit the duration of the schedule run, select Time duration for the schedule run option and specify the time duration.
