OneFS Web Administration Guide
OneFS Event Reference Guide

OneFS Web Administration GuideThe OneFS Web Administration Guide describes how to activate licenses, configure network interfaces, manage the file system, provision block storage, run system jobs, protect data, back up the cluster, set up storage pools, establish quotas, secure access, migrate data, integrate with other applications, and monitor PowerScale clusters.
- About this guideThis guide describes how the PowerScale OneFS web administration interface provides access to cluster configuration, management, and monitoring functionality.
- Scale-out NAS overviewThe scale-out NAS storage platform combines modular hardware with unified software to harness unstructured data. Powered by the OneFS operating system, a cluster delivers a scalable pool of storage with a global namespace.
- Where to go for support This topic contains resources for getting answers to questions about PowerScale products.
- PowerScale scale-out NASPowerScale OneFS combines the three layers of storage architecture—file system, volume manager, and data protection—into a scale-out NAS cluster.
- General cluster administration
- Access zones
- Authentication
- Administrative roles and privileges
- Identity management
- Home directoriesWhen you create a local user, OneFS automatically creates a home directory for the user.
- Data access controlOneFS supports two types of permissions data on files and directories that control who has access: Windows-style access control lists (ACLs) and POSIX mode bits (UNIX permissions).
- File sharingYou can access files and directories using SMB for Windows file sharing, NFS for Unix file sharing, secure shell (SSH), FTP, and HTTP.
- File filteringFile filtering enables you to allow or deny file writes based on file type.
- Auditing
- Snapshots
- Deduplication with SmartDedupe
- Data replication with SyncIQ
- Data layout with FlexProtect
- NDMP backup
- File retention with SmartLock
- Protection domains
- Data-at-rest encryption
  - Data-at-rest encryption overviewYou can enhance data security on a cluster that contains only self-encrypting-drive nodes, providing data-at-rest protection.
  - Self-encrypting drivesSelf-encrypting drives store data on a cluster that is specially designed for data-at-rest encryption.
  - Data security on self-encrypting drivesSmartfailing self-encrypting drives guarantees data security after removal.
  - Data migration to a cluster with self-encrypting drivesYou can have data from your existing cluster migrated to a cluster of nodes made up of self-encrypting drives (SEDs). As a result, all migrated and future data on the new cluster will be encrypted.
  - Chassis and drive statesYou can view chassis and drive state details.
  - Smartfailed drive REPLACE stateYou can see different drive states during the smartfail process.
  - Smartfailed drive ERASE state At the end of a smartfail process, OneFS attempts to delete the authentication key on a drive if it is unable to reset the key.
- S3 Support
- SmartQuotas
- Storage pools
- Pool-based tree reporting in FSAnalyze (FSA)
- Job management
- Networking
- Partitioned Performance Performing for NFS
- Antivirus
- File system explorer
