    This information allows the BlackPearl system to plan the initial storage of the objects in its cache, and how it will store the data on tape. The response to the Create Bulk Put command is a specifically ordered list of how the BlackPearl system wants those files (objects) sent.
  • Page 68 HTTP PUT command because it too contains a payload for the BlackPearl system. This payload is a list of objects that the client wants to get from the BlackPearl system. It is not necessary for the request payload to contain the size of the files because the BlackPearl system already knows the sizes of the objects (files).

    Users can leverage a library of existing Spectra S3 clients available through the Spectra Logic Developer Program, develop their own client. The user moves data through the client to the BlackPearl system and then the system handles all interaction with the data storage hardware. TORAGE OMAINS A storage domain is a collection of data partitions and, when applicable, media type combinations.

  • Page 72: Tape And Disk Partitions

    Tape partitions refer to data partitions configured on Spectra Logic or other supported tape libraries. When you create a partition on a tape library attached to a BlackPearl system, the system automatically detects the tape library partition and adds it to the list of available partitions in the BlackPearl user interface.

  • Page 73: Disk Partitions

    Nearline storage pools on the 96-bay expansion node are automatically created by the BlackPearl system when the system detects a sufficient number of disks for a new storage pool, and there is a capacity key installed on the system to license the additional storage space.

  • Page 74: Special Considerations For Reading Tapes In A Non-Blackpearl Environment

    If the tapes are ejected from the BlackPearl system and loaded into a non-BlackPearl system, the file names match the object names. If you do not configure this option, object names are assigned a UUID string, which is not human readable.

    ANAGEMENT DDRESS ONFLICT The default address of the BlackPearl management port is set to 10.0.0.2 with a netmask of 255.255.255.0. 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.

  • Page 380: Configuration

    Network Setup Tips 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.
  • Page 381 Manually configure LACP on the switch ports. LACP does not get enabled automatically. For example, if only a single host is connected to the BlackPearl system through a link aggregated connection, the measured performance is lower than the potential maximum transfer rate because only one physical port of the two port link aggregation is being utilized by the switch.
