Figure 42 The New Storage Location dialog box, Amazon S3 specific fields. |
| 1. | Enter an S3 Region or an S3 Data End Point. For AWS specify S3 Region only. |
| 2. | Enter the S3 Access ID of a user with credentials for the Amazon S3 cloud and the bucket that will be used for data storage. |
| 3. | Enter the S3 Secret Key associated with the S3 Access ID. |
| 4. | Enter the name of the Bucket to be used for data storage. |
|
CAUTION |
Make sure the target bucket is configured for versioning to avoid a migrate / store failing if a file with the same name already exists in the Bucket. |
The bucket name must adhere to the Amazon S3 naming requirements. If the bucket does not exist, it is created.
S3 names have the following restrictions:
| • | Bucket names must comply with DNS naming conventions. |
| • | Bucket names must be at least 3 and no more than 63 characters long. |
| • | Bucket names must be a series of one or more labels. Adjacent labels are separated by a single period (.). |
| • | Bucket names can contain lowercase letters (a-z), numbers (0-9), and hyphens. You cannot use a hyphen at the beginning or end of a label. |
| • | Bucket names cannot contain uppercase characters or underscores. |
| • | Bucket names cannot be formatted as an IP address. |
| 5. | Click Test Location to verify that the server can connect to the storage location. If the StorCycle solution does not return a check mark indicating it can communicate with the storage location, you must resolve the error before submitting the location. |
| 6. | Click Submit to save the storage location. |
| 7. | If necessary, repeat these steps, starting with Step 2 in Configuring Storage to configure additional storage locations. |
