Enterprise Vault™ Migrating Data Using the Rackspace Cloud Files Migrator
Rackspace storage server properties
After you select Rackspace Cloud Files as the secondary storage for a vault store partition, configure the properties for your Rackspace Cloud Files storage. Use the Advanced tab of the vault store partition properties page to configure the storage server properties.
Most of the configuration parameters are populated with their default values. You need to manually set the following parameters:
Rackspace user name
Rackspace secure access key
Rackspace container name
Table: Rackspace storage server properties
Option | Description | Default value |
|---|---|---|
Storage server name | The name of the Rackspace server. | rackspace.com |
Rackspace user name | The user name that Rackspace provides. The user name must be unique among all vault store partitions. | None |
Rackspace secure access key | The API Access key that Rackspace provides. | None |
Rackspace container name | The name of the Rackspace container. When the collection and the migration processes are run, the Enterprise Vault Rackspace Cloud Files migrator creates the container with this name in the Rackspace Cloud Control Panel. You can create multiple containers to store migrated data. You can configure each container as storage for one or more vault store partitions. Note that you must create the container using the Enterprise Vault Administration Console. The migration may fail for the containers that are created using the Rackspace Cloud Control Panel. The container name must be unique across all existing container names in Rackspace Cloud Files. It should not contain a forward slash (/) and must not exceed 256 bytes in length. Note: The length restriction applies to the container name after it has been URL encoded. For example, a container name of Course Docs would be URL encoded as Course%20Docs and therefore be 13 bytes in length rather than 11. | None |
Write buffer size | The buffer size, in megabytes, that Enterprise Vault uses for data uploads. Ensure that this value is greater than the Maximum collection file size setting on the Collections tab of the vault store partitions page. Set this option to zero (0) to disable the use of buffers. | 20 |
Read buffer size | The buffer size, in megabytes, that Enterprise Vault uses for data downloads. | 20 |
Log level | The amount of detail to include in the log file. You can select from the following:
Note: If you choose , Enterprise Vault does not log cURL messages even if is set to Yes. | Errors, Warnings |
Log CURL messages | Specifies whether to log cURL activity. cURL is a command line tool for sending or receiving files using URL syntax. Enterprise Vault uses the cURL library to transfer data to the Rackspace cloud. | No |
CURL connect timeout | The maximum amount of time, in seconds, the Enterprise Vault Rackspace Cloud Files storage migrator waits to connect to the Rackspace cloud server. This only limits the connection phase, not the session time. | 300 |
CURL operation timeout | The maximum amount of time, in seconds, the Enterprise Vault Rackspace Cloud Files storage migrator waits to transfer data to and retrieve data from the Rackspace cloud server | 900 |
CURL proxy type | The cURL proxy types. Proxy types are HTTP, SOCKS, SOCKS4, SOCKS5, SOCKS4A. | None |
CURL proxy IP | The cURL proxy IP. By default, no proxy is used. | <your_proxy_ip> |
CURL proxy port | The cURL proxy port number. | 70000 |
Login server region | The region in which the specified user name and secure access key are valid. For now there are only two region options available: US and UK. | US |
User wait timeout | If an Enterprise Vault user's request to retrieve an archived item from the Rackspace cloud server takes longer than normal, specifies the number of seconds after which to present the user with the following message: "The archived item is being retrieved from a slow device. Try again later." Enterprise Vault continues to retrieve the item in the background until the System wait timeout period has elapsed. Enterprise Vault then abandons the attempt to retrieve the item, and the user must submit the retrieval request again. The recommended value is 40 seconds. | 40 |
System wait timeout | If an attempt to retrieve an archived item from the Rackspace cloud server takes an excessively long time, specifies the number of seconds after which to abandon the attempt and remove the requested item from the retrieval queue. The recommended value is 900 seconds. | 900 |
Recalled file cache period | The number of days, since the last accessed date, that Enterprise Vault should retain recalled files in the cache. The collection process deletes the recalled files when the cache period has elapsed. | 7 |
Migrate all files | If the value is set to Yes, Enterprise Vault forces all eligible files to be collected and migrated. Setting this value to Yes may cause Enterprise Vault to create a large number of collection files. If the value is set to No, Enterprise Vault may leave some saveset files uncollected and thus unmigrated. | No |
