Complete post-AWS deployment
PowerScale
OneFS tasks
After you have completed the deployment of
APEX File Storage for AWS on your Amazon EC2 instance using either the AWS Management Console or AWS CLI and the
Deployment Guide
located
here, complete the cluster formation and configuration tasks.
You an access the Command Line Interface of the first node in the cluster in any of the following ways:
- Set up a VPN to the Virtual Private Cloud (VPC)
- Use the serial console of the first cluster node
- SSH from a client in the VPC
See the following AWS white paper:
Amazon Virtual Private Cloud Connectivity Options for details on your VPC connectivity options.
Configure NFS exports, SMB shares, and SyncIQ transfers
See the
PowerScale

Documentation

Create and mount NFS exports
|
- By default NFS relies on a trusted network. If the network is not trusted, NFS on
OneFS should be configured securely. For more details, see the "Create an NFS export" section in the
PowerScale OneFS 9.6.x.x CLI Administration Guide.
|
Create and map SMB shares
|
- The default configuration of SMB on
OneFS does not encrypt in-flight data. For more information, see the "Use compensating controls to protect files that are sent in cleartext" section in the
PowerScale
OneFS 9.6.0.0 Security Configuration Guide.
- See the "SMB security" section in the
PowerScale OneFS 9.6.x.x CLI Administration Guide.
- Also see the "SMB best practices" section in the
PowerScale
OneFS 9.6.0.0 Security Configuration Guide for recommendations regarding enabling signing or encryption of SMB when operating over a nontrusted network.

Migrate encrypted data using SyncIQ
|
- Use the integrated capabilities of SyncIQ to encrypt the data during transfers between
PowerScale clusters and protect the in-flight data during intercluster replications. SyncIQ policies support end-to-end encryption for cross-cluster communications.
- For more information, see the section entitled "Data Encryption with SyncIQ" in the
PowerScale OneFS 9.6.x.x CLI Administration Guide.
