Page 43: Spectra S3 Overview
Chapter 3 — Understanding Spectra S3 Concepts Spectra S3 Overview S3 O PECTRA VERVIEW The BlackPearl Deep Storage Gateway allows data to move seamlessly into tape storage in a way not previously possible. Spectra S3 is the first native REST‐based interface to deep storage which enables easy archiving of large amounts of bulk data. It enables users to deploy a tier of deep storage that is cost effective, easy to manage, and scalable to exabytes of data. Storing large amounts of bulk data on tape has historically presented challenges. Spectra S3 addresses these challenges:  Tape drives are sequential block storage devices, with data laid out in a sequential manner along the full length of the tape. This makes it inefficient to retrieve data out of order. Spectra S3 plans and queues a large amount of data to be efficiently written to tape; it logically groups data on tape in a way that reflects how the client is likely to read it back.  Because of the mechanical nature of the tape media and drives, tape drives demand a large amount of data to be available, via a fast connection. When data is not efficiently streamed for the tape drives to write (due to slow data buffering or a slow connection to the drive), the result is poor write performance. This poor performance is due to a phenomenon referred to as ʺshoe‐shiningʺ. When a drive is sent a small amount of data, it writes the data and then is forced to stop. Because the tape cannot stop instantaneously, the drive overshoots a small amount and the tape is not in position for the next write operation. To compensate, the tape drive rewinds to get back to the correct position for the next write. If the next write also has a small amount of data, then the drive writes the next portion and again stops, overshoots, and ...
Page 44: Spectra S3 Clients
Chapter 3 — Understanding Spectra S3 Concepts Spectra S3 Overview The first of these additional operations is called START BULK PUT. It is an HTTP PUT operation that provides the BlackPearl gateway with information about the objects that the client wants to send as a single job for storing on tape. The START BULK PUT command is sent with a payload that is made up of a list of object names and corresponding object sizes. This information allows the BlackPearl gateway to plan the initial storage of the objects in its cache, and how it will store the data on tape. The response to the START BULK PUT command is a specifically ordered list of how the BlackPearl gateway wants those files (objects) sent. The second command is called START BULK GET. The START BULK GET command is actually an HTTP PUT command because it too contains a payload for the BlackPearl gateway. This payload is a list of objects that the client wants to get from the BlackPearl gateway. It is not necessary for the request payload to contain the size of the files because the BlackPearl gateway already knows the sizes of the objects (files). The response to the request is again an ordered list of the objects and information about the objects, including if they are already in the cache and ready to be retrieved from cache by a GET command. Knowing the files that the client wants to retrieve, the BlackPearl gateway can make the best use of its resources in retrieving the objects from tape. For example, if the list of objects spans across four different tapes and there are four tape drives available, those four tapes can all be loaded into drives and the objects can be read back in parallel, greatly improving the speed at which the client can get all of the objects. Without the START BULK GET request, the client would be asking the BlackPearl gateway for those objects in a less efficient manner. Lastly, because the BlackPearl gateway is focused on tape media, the Spectra S3 API supports commands that allow interaction with the tapes and tape library. For more information on the Spectra S3 interface, see the Spectra BlackPearl ...
Page 45: Storage Domains
Chapter 3 — Understanding Spectra S3 Concepts Storage Domains TORAGE OMAINS A storage domain is a collection of data partitions and, when applicable, media type combinations. Storage domains define the possible places where data sent to the BlackPearl Deep Storage Gateway can be stored. Data persistence rules and data policies further define where and for how long specific data is stored. Entire data partition/media type combinations are members of storage domains. When additional capacity is required, a single disk partition or tape is allocated out of the member data partitions to fulfill the capacity requirement. OLICIES A data policy defines data integrity policies, default job attributes, and persistence rules, which define where data should be persisted. A data policy may be used by multiple buckets, but a bucket uses precisely one data policy. A data policy consists of one or more permanent persistence rules, zero or more temporary persistence rules, and zero or more retired persistence rules. A persistence rule can be permanent, meaning that data is persisted in the specified storage domain at all times, or temporary, meaning that data is persisted in the specified storage domain under certain circumstances, and then it can be deleted from that storage domain. Existing permanent and temporary persistence rules may be retired so that the rule is not applied for any new incoming data, but continues to retain data previously written. Data Persistence Rules Each data policy must have one or more permanent persistence rules. Each persistence rule targets a specified storage domain. There are two types of persistence rules: ...
Page 46: Tape And Disk Partitions
Chapter 3 — Understanding Spectra S3 Concepts Tape and Disk Partitions The same storage domain cannot be specified multiple times using different persistence rules in the same data policy. The same storage domain can be referred to across different data policies. Data persistence rules must specify the level of physical isolation required for the data retention. There are three types of data retention:  Standard — Data is isolated according to the standard storage domain isolation requirements.  Bucket Isolated — Data from different buckets cannot be mixed on the same physical storage media.  Secure Bucket Isolated — Data from different buckets cannot be mixed on the same physical storage media, and media cannot be reclaimed into the general pool once assigned to a bucket; it can only be reclaimed for use within the same bucket.  The Standard isolation level provides the best capacity Notes: utilization and overall performance.  Bucket Isolated and Secure Bucket Isolated allocate an entire tape or pool to a bucket when needed. Allocating an entire ...

See the Spectra BlackPearl Spectra S3 API Reference for more information.  Tape drive cleaning cannot be initiated through the BlackPearl user interface Disk Partitions Disk partitions are comprised of storage pools on external SAS expansion nodes. There are two types of disk partitions. Online disk partitions are created on Spectra BlackPearl expansion nodes, while Nearline disk partitions are created on Spectra ArcticBlue expansion nodes.  Online ‐ Online storage using BlackPearl expansion nodes is used as a temporary, high‐performance storage target for highly transactional data.  Nearline ‐ Nearline storage using ArcticBlue expansion nodes is a cost effective storage target for deep storage. Nearline storage is not recommended for frequent reads or writes. Nearline storage pools on the ArcticBlue expansion node are automatically created by the BlackPearl gateway when the gateway detects a sufficient number of disks for a new storage pool, and there is a capacity key installed on the gateway to license the additional storage space. Online storage pools are manually created using the BlackPearl user interface after you attach a BlackPearl expansion node (see Create Online Disk Pool on page 77).

Disk partitions are specified in storage domains as storage targets. There are two types of disk partitions; nearline storage, which is provided by an ArcticBlue expansion node, and online storage, which is provided by a BlackPearl expansion node. Nearline storage pools on ArcticBlue expansion nodes are automatically created by the BlackPearl gateway when the system detects that new disk storage is connected to the gateway. A capacity key licensing the disk storage must be entered in to the gateway before automatic storage pool creation begins. Online storage pools must be created manually using the BlackPearl user interface. See Create Online Disk Pool on page 77 for more information.

This setting specifies whether job chunks are written as quickly as possible or across as few pieces of media as possible. For example, when Performance mode is set for a tape partition, job chunks are written as quickly as possible, using all tape drive resources, even if that means that more tapes are allocated to the bucket than are necessary to write the data. It is better to use Capacity mode if the tapes will be ejected after the job completes or if the bucket is written to very rarely and capacity in the library is of concern. Performance mode is recommended for tape partitions in all other cases. Storage domains for pool partitions should generally have a Capacity write optimization because pools are very fast and under less contention. It is rare for a pool storage domain to benefit from Performance mode. December 2015 User Guide—Spectra BlackPearl Gateway...

Page 123: Ntroduction
The Deep Storage browser is not designed for daily backups because the Deep Storage browser does not support versioning. Once a file is copied to the BlackPearl gateway and written to tape, you cannot overwrite that file with a newer version. Even if you delete the file on the BlackPearl gateway, the file transfer operation fails with the error message “Versioning is not supported”. EQUIREMENTS The Deep Storage browser has the following requirements:  The BlackPearl gateway must be running BlackPearl 1.1 software, or later.  The Deep Storage browser cannot overwrite existing files. Ensure that none of the names of files to transfer duplicate the names of files already in the destination, or the entire data transfer fails.  The Deep Storage browser operates by moving data from the selected source location, through the host computer running the Deep Storage browser, to the destination location. This occurs even if there is a direct connection between the source and destination. This can result in slower data transfer performance depending on the host computer CPU, memory, and network configurations.  Files being stored as objects to a BlackPearl based tape library storage solution must follow the Amazon S3 naming restriction.

If your network is already using this IP address, you are not able to access the BlackPearl user interface. One resolution to the issue is to change the IP address of the machine already on your network to a different address. Then connect to the BlackPearl gateway as described in Log Into the BlackPearl User Interface on page 32. If you cannot, or do not want to change the IP address of the existing machine, follow the instructions in this section to connect your BlackPearl gateway to your network. Using the Console Using the BlackPearl console is the recommended way to change the BlackPearl management port IP address.

When you change the IP address of the BlackPearl management port, you lose your connection to the user interface when you save your changes. To re‐establish the connection, enter the new IP address in your browser and log in again. 12. Disconnect the Ethernet cable from the BlackPearl management port. 13. Connect a cable from your network to the management port on the BlackPearl gateway. You are now able to connect to the gateway with the IP address configured in Step 9 on page 154. ETWORK ETUP The BlackPearl management port is separated from the data ports. The management port and data ports have their own default routes. This does not prevent a user from having the management and data ports utilizing the same network, if desired. The basic steps for configuring the management and data ports for access to the network are simple and straight‐forward. However, each network environment is unique and may require some additional troubleshooting in order to properly connect to the BlackPearl gateway and utilize the 10GBase‐T or 10 GigE interfaces correctly. Configuration The first step is to configure the management and data ports using the BlackPearl user interface or the command line interface. Do not attempt to access the system directly and use the root console to modify interfaces. The web and command line interfaces are tightly integrated with the base operating system and configure additional system features based on network changes. Note: The command line interface is not supported in the BlackPearl software version 1.2 release. December 2015 User Guide—Spectra BlackPearl Gateway...
Page 156: Connectivity To The Network
 Single gigabit logical connection utilizing one of the 10GBase‐T physical ports and a Category 5e Ethernet cable —OR—  Single 10 gigabit logical connection utilizing one of the 10GBase‐T physical ports and a Category 6 Ethernet cable Assign the appropriate IP address to the management and data ports either statically or using DHCP. If you are setting the MTU to something other than 1500, ensure that your switch configuration, as well as all the hosts on the network, support larger MTU settings. The BlackPearl gateway can support jumbo frames (MTU=9000), but all switches and hosts on the network must be configured to support jumbo frames if this is selected, or performance might be degraded. Link Aggregation Notes Switches use different methods of routing traffic from hosts to NAS servers. There are also many different network configurations to move data from hosts to NAS servers. For example, some Cisco switches route traffic based on the MAC address and the IP address. The BlackPearl gateway presents only one MAC address and one IP address when the data ports are aggregated via DHCP; if static link aggregation is chosen, it presents only one MAC address, but can have up to 16 IP addresses aliased to the MAC address. It is up to the switch to rotate data transfers among the physical ports on the BlackPearl gateway in order to achieve the highest throughput possible. Additionally, if link aggregation is configured for the BlackPearl gateway, then switches must also be able to support link aggregation to aggregate or ʺtrunkʺ the data ports together to provide higher bandwidth into the gateway. Switches must support link aggregation using LACP (Link Aggregation Control Protocol), and the switches must hash the destination IP addresses. Manually configure LACP on the switch ports. LACP does not get enabled automatically. December 2015 User Guide—Spectra BlackPearl Gateway...

Once configured correctly and attached to the network, the status in the user interface indicates the speed of the connection and whether the port is active. The link lights on the network ports should be on and active at both the BlackPearl gateway and the network switch. From your network, use the ʺpingʺ command (see Ping on page 158) to test the assigned IP address for the BlackPearl management port or data port. If this is not successful, follow the troubleshooting tips below to ascertain if the problem is a network setup issue. December 2015 User Guide—Spectra BlackPearl Gateway...
Page 158: Troubleshooting
Port Link LED Does Not Light  Check the port configuration on the network switch. The BlackPearl gateway only supports auto‐negotiation. Make sure the switch is configured to match speeds on both ends of the connection.  Check the cables that connect the port to the other device. Make sure that they are connected. Verify that you are using the correct cable type and connectors. This is especially critical for 10 GigE connections utilizing SFPs.  Verify that the switch ports are not administratively disabled. Consult the switch User Guide for more information. Port Link LED is Lit, But I Cannot Ping the BlackPearl gateway  Check the LACP settings on the switch. If you are using link aggregation on the BlackPearl gateway, the switch MUST be configured to use LACP on those ports. If you are not using link aggregation, the switch must be configured NOT to use LACP on those ports.  Check the VLAN (Virtual Local Area Network) settings on the switch. Ensure that the ports are assigned to the correct VLAN. Tools Ping The ping command is a simple tool, based on a request‐response ...
Page 159: Detect Topology Errors
You can use the traceroute command, if it is available, or something similar, to not only verify connectivity to a remote network node, but to track the responses from intermediate nodes as well. The traceroute command sends a UDP packet to a port that is likely to not be used on a remote node with a TTL of 1. After the packet reaches the intermediate router, the TTL is decremented, and the ICMP time‐exceeded message is sent back to the originating node, which increments the TTL to 2, and the process repeats. After the UDP packet reaches a destination host, an ICMP port‐unreachable message is sent back to the sender. This action provides the sender with information about all intermediate routers on the way to the destination. For example, for a BlackPearl gateway at IP address 192.168.2.10, the output of the command shown below, traceroute 192.168.2.10 shows a numbered list indicating the number of hops encountered when tracing the packet from the switch to the BlackPearl gateway ETECT OPOLOGY RRORS The BlackPearl gateway automatically analyzes the connections between the gateway and the tape library.
