Post APEX File Storage for AWS deployment tasks

After you have completed the deployment 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 can 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 OneFS documentation for details on the following configuration tasks:

Table 1. Configuration tasksThis table displays NFS exports, SMB shares, and SyncIQ transfer configuration tasks.
Tasks 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 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 Security Configuration Guide.
  • See the "SMB security" section in this guide.
  • Also see the "SMB best practices" section in the PowerScale OneFS 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 that is entitled "Data Encryption with SyncIQ" in the PowerScale OneFS CLI Administration Guide.
