Ingest Data in BlackPearl Bucket

A bucket on a BlackPearl system with data added outside of the StorCycle solution can be ingested so that the objects in the bucket are managed by the StorCycle solution, allowing you to restore the contents of the bucket.

Notes:   l You cannot ingest a bucket previously used as a target for a migrate / store project.
l A second ingest of the same storage location will ingest new files added to the bucket outside of the StorCycle solution, and will update files changed in the BlackPearl bucket.
l If the ingested bucket name matches a StorCycle server path, and the storage location and bucket contain file(s) with the same name(s), the ingest of those files will fail.
1. To ingest a BlackPearl bucket, first configure it as a BlackPearl storage location. See Configuring Storage.
Note: You cannot ingest a storage location configured to use encryption or packing.
2.   On the storage screen (see Figure 17), select the Actions menu and select Ingest next to the BlackPearl storage location. The BlackPearl name Ingest dialog box displays.

3.   Select the check box to Confirm that you understand that the BlackPearl bucket is not available for migrate / store jobs after the ingest, and that retention policies do not delete ingested data.
4.   Click Next. The BlackPearl name Ingest Properties dialog box displays.
