Content Manager OnDemand supports data storage in a Hitachi Content Platform repository. More information on Hitachi Content Platform can be found at: https://www.hitachivantara.com/en-us/products/cloud-object-platform/content-platform.html
Perform these steps to configure Hitachi Content Platform on an AIX, Linux, or Linux on System z server.
Two new entries must be added to the ARS.CFG file.
ARS_HITACHI_CONFIG_FILE=/opt/IBM/ondemand/V10.1/config/ars.hcp
ARS_HITACHI_CONFIG_DIR=/opt/IBM/ondemand/V10.1/config
ARS_HITACHI_CONFIG_FILE=/opt/ibm/ondemand/V10.1/config/ars.hcp
ARS_HITACHI_CONFIG_DIR=/opt/ibm/ondemand/V10.1/config
The ARS_HITACHI_CONFIG_FILE
entry specifies an existing Hitachi Content Platform
configuration file which the server uses by default.
The ARS_HITACHI_CONFIG_DIR
entry specifies the directory in which any alternate
configuration files are kept. This directory is used if additional Hitachi Content Platform
configuration files are defined. The names of these additional configuration files can be specified
when defining storage nodes in Content Manager OnDemand. If no configuration file is
specified in the storage node, the default configuration file is used.
The configuration file name and directory path shown in the examples are the recommended values for these entries.
The ARS_STORAGE_MANAGER
entry in the ARS.CFG
file might also need to be changed. If you specify ARS_STORAGE_MANAGER=CACHE_ONLY
,
this disables all storage managers supported by Content Manager OnDemand.
ARS_STORAGE_MANAGER=TSM
ARS_STORAGE_MANAGER
value is set to TSM
.ARS_STORAGE_MANAGER=NO_TSM

A sample configuration file is included as part of
the installation of Content Manager OnDemand.A Hitachi Content Platform configuration file for Content Manager OnDemand contains entries specific to your Hitachi Content Platform implementation. You specify the location and name of the default configuration file in the ARS.CFG entry or via the OnDemand Configurator. Required entries must be specified. Optional entries are not required in the configuration file unless those values need to be changed.
The following list describes the entries that can be specified in a Hitachi Content Platform configuration file.

contains:ARS_HITACHI_SERVER=sample.hitachi-hcp.com
You can define the settings for using the Hitachi Content Platform access method on the Add a Primary Node dialog of the OnDemand Administrator client.
The Storage Node field becomes Namespace when the Access Method is set to Hitachi Content Platform. The namespace must exist in your repository or access to Hitachi Content Platform will fail.
The Logon and Password fields contain the Hitachi Content Platform logon and password that Content Manager OnDemand needs to access your Hitachi Content Platform repository.
The Access Method radio button is set to Hitachi Content Platform
. For Content Manager OnDemand servers running on all platforms except Windows, the Configuration
File Name defaults to the value specified by the ARS_HITACHI_CONFIG_FILE
parameter
in the ARS.CFG file if no value is entered. Otherwise, Content Manager OnDemand looks
for the configuration file in the directory defined by the ARS_HITACHI_CONFIG_DIR
parameter specified in the ARS.CFG file. For Content Manager OnDemand servers running
on Windows, the server uses the Configuration File Name field and the Configuration Directory field
that are specified in the OnDemand Configurator instead of using the ARS.CFG file parameters.
