Registering Amazon S3 Cloud Storage with Catalogic DPX

You can register Amazon S3 cloud storage by taking the following steps with Catalogic DPX from the Java-based DPX Management Interface:

  1. Complete the preparation that is described in Chapter 8: Cloud Storage.

  2. In the Java-based DPX Management Interface, open the Configure tab in the function tab bar.

  3. From the task pane, see the Configuration Options section and open Devices in it.

  4. Right-click the Enterprise item that you want to add the cloud storage, and click Add Device Cluster to open the device cluster registration pane.

  5. In the device cluster registration pane, enter the following fields:

    • Device Cluster Name

      An arbitrary, unique name that you can identify your cloud storage item in Catalogic DPX. Device cluster names must be up to 48 alphanumeric characters with no spaces. For example, PRODUCTION_CLOUD. Ensure that none of the device clusters are sharing the same name.

    • Device Type

      Set to CLOUD.

    • Cloud Provider Type

      Select AWS S3 for Amazon S3 Standard or Amazon S3 Glacier.

    See also. If you select Amazon S3 Glacier for the cloud provider type, the Standard archive retrieval mode is used by default. To switch this archive retrieval option to Expedited for a rapid restore, follow the instructions in Setting Block Restore Source Options.

    • Bucket Name

      Name the bucket.

    • IAM Access Key ID

      The access ID of the AWS Identity & Access Management (IAM).

    • IAM Secret Access Key

      The Secret Access Key of the IAM.

    • Comment

      Optional comments to the device cluster item in Catalogic DPX. Up to 48 characters.

      Click Add.

The new device cluster name appears in the device resource tree in the left pane and is indicated by the selection check box. The add device cluster dialog in the right pane becomes the edit device cluster dialog for the new device cluster. Once the new device has been configured, a Device Type of Cloud is available for proxy selection in the Device Cluster and Device Configuration screens.
