Enable and configure Secure Remote Services support

You can enable support for Secure Remote Services (SRS) on a PowerScale cluster using the isi esrs modify command.

Pre-requisites:
  • If your cluster is running OneFS 9.0.0.0 and has PowerScale F200 or PowerScale F600 nodes installed, you must have SRS v3 installed. For more information, see the Secure Remote Services documentation.
  • If your cluster is running OneFS 9.1.0.0 and later, you must have SRS v3 installed.
  • Install and configure a SRS 3.x gateway server before you enable SRS on a OneFS cluster. Complete details for installing and upgrading SRS 3.x gateway server are available in the Secure Remote Services documentation.
    NOTE The SRS Virtual Edition gateway (SRS 3.x) does not support installing software that is not already included in the appliance. While the customer has full access to the appliance, loading additional software or updating software already installed may require redeployment.
  • If the SRS 3.x gateway server supports IPv6, then SRS is supported through IPv6 communications.
  • If the SRS 3.x gateway server is configured for IPv4, then, to support SRS transmissions and remote connections, at least one subnet on the PowerScale cluster must be configured for IPv4 addresses. All nodes that are managed by SRS must have at least one network interface that is a member of an IPv4 address pool. Only nodes with an interface in this pool are eligible for election to be the SRS main node. All alerts on the cluster are routed through this main node.

  • You must know the credentials (username and password) of a user account that can log into the SRS Gateway. Ask the installer of the SRS Gateway for these credentials. The username must be registered in MyService360 under the same customer site ID under which the hardware and software licenses are registered.
  • The IP address pools that handle gateway connections must exist in the system and must belong to a subnet under groupnet0, which is the default system groupnet.
  • For successful connections, all back-end records at Dell EMC must be correct and aligned to your customer site ID. Contact Dell EMC customer support to request verification before performing this procedure.
  1. Run the isi esrs modify command to enable and modify the SRS configuration on the OneFS cluster:
     isi esrs modify --enabled=true --primary-esrs-gateway=<gateway-server> --gateway-access-pools=subnetx:poolx 
      --username=<username> [--password=<password>]
    Where:
    • gateway-server is the IP address or name of the primary gateway.
    • subnetx and poolx identify the network and pool for storing the collected data. Verify values with the site's storage administrator.
    • username and password are the credentials for accessing the primary gateway.

      Ask the installer of the SRS Gateway for these credentials. The username must be registered in myService360 under the same customer site ID under which the hardware and software licenses are registered.

    • The --password argument is optional on the command line. If not provided, the system prompts you for the password and does not display the response as you type it. Omitting password from the command line is preferable in most cases for security reasons.
    For example:
    isi esrs modify --enabled=true --primary-esrs-gateway=10.21.11.19 --gateway-access-pools=subnet2:pool3      --username=someone@somecompany.com
  2. Review the messages in the output and take appropriate action. See the next section for details about possible errors.
    NOTE In OneFS 9.0.0.0 and newer, when Secure Remote Services is enabled, SRS Telemetry is also enabled. The SRS Telemetry EULA must be agreed to before you can continue.
