Registering Generic Cloud Storage with Catalogic DPX from the Java-based DPX Management Interface

From the Java-based DPX Management Interface, take the following steps to register generic cloud storage with Catalogic DPX:

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

  3. 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.

  4. 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 the cloud provider type: AWS S3, MinIO, and so on.

    Bucket Name

    An arbitrary name of the bucket.

    Endpoint

    The URL of the cloud storage endpoint, typically structured as follows, where <endpoint> represents the FQDN or IP address that the system can resolve, and 9000 represents the port 9000:

    https://<endpoint.com>:9000

    Access Key

    The access key of the cloud storage instance.

    Secret Key

    The secret key of the cloud storage instance.

    Comment

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

    Click Add.

Ensure that 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.
