Setting up Transparent cloud tiering for WORM solutions

After an immutable fileset is configured, you must set up Transparent cloud tiering to be able to configure and deploy WORM solutions. This topic describes the procedure for doing that.

Before you begin, ensure the following:
  • IBM Cloud® Object Storage version is at 3.9.x or later.
  • IBM Cloud Object Storage is run on the "vault" mode, not on the "container" mode.
  • To run the scripts, you have to create a private account on the IBM Cloud Object Storage.
Note: You can perform these procedures either manually or by using the scripts available in the package.
The following scripts are available at /opt/ibm/MCStore/scripts: 
  • mcstore_createlockedvault.sh
  • mcstore_lockedvaultpreconfig.sh
  • mcstore_lockedvaultrotateclientkey.sh
  1. Set up a private key and create locked vaults.
  2. Configure Transparent cloud tiering with certificate-based authentication and locked vaults.
  3. Rotate client key or revoke old certificate.
  4. Update Transparent cloud tiering with new private key and certificate.
