Hitachi Content Platform for Cloud Scale (HCP for Cloud Scale) is a software-defined object storage solution based on a massively parallel microservice architecture and compatible with the S3 API. Bucket synchronization sync-to (or mirroring) feature on HCP for Cloud Scale allows automatic, asynchronous copying of objects in a bucket in an HCP for cloud scale system to a Wasabi bucket. ### 1. Requirements - An active Wasabi account - HCP for Cloud Scale installed and configured on-premise or in the cloud with a HCP bucket ### 2. Create a Wasabi Bucket Follow the steps in this section to create a standard Wasabi bucket. We will later use this bucket to create an External Target on Cohesity to write backups to Wasabi. 2.1 Log in to [Wasabi Console](https://console.wasabisys.com/) and click on Create Bucket on top right. ![Picture1-2.png](https://cdn.document360.io/bef0a1ea-7768-4d5a-b520-c4fe2f7fafad/Images/Documentation/18999048518683.png) 2.2 In the Create Bucket window, enter a unique bucket name. Select the appropriate region. Click **Next**. ![Picture2.png](https://cdn.document360.io/bef0a1ea-7768-4d5a-b520-c4fe2f7fafad/Images/Documentation/18999058555803.png) 2.3 Review [create a sub-user with access keys](https://docs.wasabi.com/docs/how-do-i-create-a-sub-user-with-console-access-and-access-and-secret-keys) to create access keys for a user to access the Wasabi bucket created above. We will use these keys in the following section to add the Wasabi bucket as an external bucket on HCP CS. ### 3. Add Wasabi Bucket as an External Bucket on HCP CS Wasabi can be configured as an external/remote bucket to synchronize data from HCP Cloud Scale. The bucket synchronization feature on HCP CS to a bucket (bucket sync-to or mirroring) allows automatic, asynchronous copying of objects in a bucket in an HCP for a cloud-scale system to a Wasabi bucket. Follow the steps below to configure a bucket sync-to rule on the HCP CS bucket to copy data to Wasabi. 3.1 Log in to the HCP Cloud Scale console. Click the bucket you want to configure for synchronization. ![Screenshot 2023-09-15 at 3.31.52 PM.png](https://cdn.document360.io/bef0a1ea-7768-4d5a-b520-c4fe2f7fafad/Images/Documentation/18819542505243.png) 3.2 Click **Properties** to open the Properties window. ![Screenshot 2023-09-15 at 3.32.35 PM.png](https://cdn.document360.io/bef0a1ea-7768-4d5a-b520-c4fe2f7fafad/Images/Documentation/18820916066715.png) 3.3 Click **Configure** under Sync-to Replication. ![Screenshot 2023-09-15 at 4.10.21 PM.png](https://cdn.document360.io/bef0a1ea-7768-4d5a-b520-c4fe2f7fafad/Images/Documentation/18820916077723.png) 3.4 Click **Add rule** to add a bucket sync-to rule to sync to a remote bucket. ![Screenshot 2023-08-31 at 4.52.37 PM.png](https://cdn.document360.io/bef0a1ea-7768-4d5a-b520-c4fe2f7fafad/Images/Documentation/18801960352667.png) 3.5 Input the details for the Wasabi bucket. - S3 type- Generic S3 - Region- The region where your Wasabi bucket was created. This example uses us-east-1 - S3 hostname- Service url for the Wasabi bucket - Bucket- Name of the Wasabi bucket - Access key- Access key for the Wasabi user - Secret Key- Secret key for the Wasabi user Click **Test bucket connection** to test the connection to the remote bucket. If the verification is successful, click **Done**. ![Screenshot 2023-08-31 at 4.53.39 PM.png](https://cdn.document360.io/bef0a1ea-7768-4d5a-b520-c4fe2f7fafad/Images/Documentation/18801951304859.png) 3.6 Click **Update** to update the sync-to rule. ![Screenshot 2023-09-22 at 3.35.10 PM.png](https://cdn.document360.io/bef0a1ea-7768-4d5a-b520-c4fe2f7fafad/Images/Documentation/19013470471835.png) 3.7 Click **Done** to complete the bucket configuration. ![Screenshot 2023-09-22 at 3.35.42 PM.png](https://cdn.document360.io/bef0a1ea-7768-4d5a-b520-c4fe2f7fafad/Images/Documentation/19013455759899.png) You have now successfully configured synchronization from your HCP bucket to the remote Wasabi bucket. ### 4. Create a Lifecycle policy on Wasabi bucket to manage the retention of data on Wasabi bucket We will create a Lifecycle policy for the Wasabi bucket to manage data synced from HCP CloudScale. Follow the steps below to set up lifecycle policies on the Wasabi bucket. 4.1 Log in to the Wasabi console and navigate to your bucket. Click **Settings** to bring up the settings window. ![Screenshot 2023-09-28 at 12.54.21 PM.png](https://cdn.document360.io/bef0a1ea-7768-4d5a-b520-c4fe2f7fafad/Images/Documentation/19191514293147.png) 4.2 Click **LifeCycle**. Click **Create New Rule** to create a new lifecycle policy rule. ![Screenshot 2023-09-28 at 12.55.01 PM.png](https://cdn.document360.io/bef0a1ea-7768-4d5a-b520-c4fe2f7fafad/Images/Documentation/19191514301979.png) 4.3 Enter the settings as per the requirements. Once the settings are entered, scroll down and click **Create** to create the lifecycle policy rule. For more details on the lifecycle rule, please review [Object Lifecycle Management](https://docs.wasabi.com/docs/lifecycle?highlight=lifecycle%20policy). - Lifecycle rule name- Name for the rule - Apply to all objects in the bucket- The scope of the rule applies to everything in the Wasabi bucket - Expire current version of objects- To expire the current versions of objects, specify when the objects become noncurrent. For non-versioned buckets, the object is permanently removed at the end of the specified period. - Permanently delete noncurrent versions of objects- Enter a value indicating the number of days after which objects become noncurrent. ![Screenshot 2023-09-28 at 12.58.11 PM.png](https://cdn.document360.io/bef0a1ea-7768-4d5a-b520-c4fe2f7fafad/Images/Documentation/19191596595355.png) You have now created a lifecycle policy on Wasabi bucket to set a retention period for Wasabi bucket. After this period, objects in the Wasabi bucket will be removed.
