    Chapter 3 - Understanding Advanced Bucket Management This chapter explains the concepts of the BlackPearl Nearline gateway advanced bucket management. It is important to understand the information in this chapter before you begin designing the storage architecture of the BlackPearl gateway.

  • Page 93: Goals Of Advanced Bucket Management

    DS3 O VERVIEW The Spectra BlackPearl Nearline Gateway allows data to move seamlessly into deep storage in a way not previously possible. DS3 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 tape, nearline disk, and online disk storage that is cost effective, easy to manage, and scalable to exabytes of data.
  • Page 94 If the next write also has a small amount of data, then the drive writes the next portion and again stops, overshoots, and rewinds, causing a back and forth “shoe- shining” like action. DS3 caches data on the BlackPearl Nearline Gateway before starting the transfer to tape, which prevents the shoe-shining behavior from occurring.

  • Page 97: Data Replication Rules

    Tape Eject Strategy A tape eject strategy must be considered as part of a data policy. Spectra recommends keeping at least one copy of all archived data in the library at all times. Libraries can be easily upgraded by purchasing more slot licenses, or, if the slots become completely full, upgrading the library itself to one with more slots using the exclusive Spectra TranScale technology.

  • Page 98: Tape Partitions

    Tape and Disk Partitions Tape 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 gateway, the gateway automatically detects the tape library partition and adds it to the list of available partitions in the BlackPearl user interface.

  • Page 99: Tape Media Inspections

    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 44-bay expansion nodes, while Nearline disk partitions are created on Spectra 96-bay expansion nodes. 107-bay expansion nodes provide either Online or Nearline storage, depending on the type of drives installed.

  • Page 100: Special Considerations For Ejecting Tapes

    ONSIDERATIONS FOR JECTING APES If you plan to eject tapes, Spectra Logic recommends the following storage domain and data policy settings: • Set the Write Optimization setting to Capacity when configuring a storage domain so that data is written to as few tapes as possible.

If you have not purchased a NAS activation key, these features do not display in the BlackPearl user interface.

  • Page 202: Storage Pools

    When creating a new NAS pool, keep the following in mind: • Each storage pool requires a minimum of one drive. Spectra Logic recommends using eight drives or more in a storage pool to reduce the impact of the overhead. Overhead is the space on the storage pool used to store parity data, and not used for data storage.

    If you want to configure the volume to use the NFI service (Network File Interface) to automatically transfer files from the NAS storage to the local gateway’s storage domains or to a remote BlackPearl Nearline gateway, configure the NFI service before configuring the volume. See Configure the NFI Service on page 224.
