Datacore vFilO With Wasabi

Prev Next

Datacore vFilO has been validated for use with Wasabi.  More info on the Datacore + Wasabi solution is available here.  The steps below will guide you through the process of connecting vFilO to Wasabi, and applying the policies to move files automatically and transparently to the selected bucket.

  1. 1. Log in to Datacore vFilO admin portal via browser https://:8443

  1. Now that the Wasabi volume is created and available, we can apply the vFilO policy to move files to Wasabi.

    First, navigate to Shares under Infrastructure & Data to see the list of available shares. vFilO policies can be applied at any level: to shares, folders, or even individual files. In this example, we will be using the wasabi-test folder under the /data share. By clicking/data share and then the wasabi-test folder name, we can explore the folder contents and identify the files’ current location. Notice that files under this folder are located on one of the local volumes.

  1. Now we are going to apply a policy to move all the files under this folder to Wasabi. Navigate back to the /data share by using the tabs at the top. Then click on the pencil icon mceclip11.png next to Objectives on the wasabi-test folder to edit the objectives for the selected folder.

  1. Scroll to the bottom of the list to find the objective place-on-Wasabi::vfilo-east1-bucket1. Click the checkbox to select, then click Save.

  1. The above action moves all data in the wasabi-test folder to the selected Wasabi bucket. All files will be deduplicated, compressed, and (optionally) encrypted before being sent to Wasabi to maximize bandwidth use and capacity allocated on Wasabi. After a few minutes, navigate to the wasabi-test folder to check the new file locations and confirm they are stored on Wasabi.

Important to notice that all the files will still be available and visible at the share, even when stored on Wasabi. Any attempt to access the file on the share will trigger vFilO to automatically download it from Wasabi and rehydrate it on a local volume. This whole process is instantaneous, completely automated, and transparent for the user accessing the files.
