Where to go next
After completing an installation, perform the required integration and configuration tasks. You can perform the optional tasks as needed.
Required tasks
-
Create a tenant account for the S3 client protocol that will be used to store objects on your StorageGRID system.
-
Control system access by configuring groups and user accounts. Optionally, you can configure a federated identity source (such as Active Directory or OpenLDAP), so you can import administration groups and users. Or, you can create local groups and users.
-
Integrate and test the S3 API client applications you will use to upload objects to your StorageGRID system.
-
Configure the information lifecycle management (ILM) rules and ILM policy you want to use to protect object data.
-
If your installation includes appliance Storage Nodes, use SANtricity OS to complete the following tasks:
-
Connect to each StorageGRID appliance.
-
Verify receipt of AutoSupport data.
See Set up hardware.
-
-
Review and follow the StorageGRID system hardening guidelines to eliminate security risks.
Optional tasks
-
Update grid node IP addresses if they have changed since you planned your deployment and generated the Recovery Package.
-
Configure storage encryption, if required.
-
Configure storage compression to reduce the size of stored objects, if required.
-
Configure VLAN interfaces to isolate and partition network traffic, if required.
-
Configure high availability groups to improve connection availability for the Grid Manager, Tenant Manager, and S3 clients, if required.
-
Configure load balancer endpoints for S3 client connectivity, if required.
