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
  - Role-based accessYou can assign role-based access to delegate administrative tasks to selected users.
  - RolesYou can permit and limit access to administrative areas of your cluster on a per-user basis through roles. OneFS includes several built-in administrator roles with predefined sets of privileges that cannot be modified. You can also create custom roles and assign privileges.
  - PrivilegesPrivileges permit users to complete tasks on a cluster.
    - Supported OneFS privilegesPrivileges supported by OneFS are categorized by the type of action or access that is granted to the user—for example, login, security, and configuration privileges.
    - Data backup and restore privilegesYou can assign privileges to a user that are explicitly for cluster data backup and restore actions.
    - Command-line interface privilegesYou can perform most tasks granted by a privilege through the command-line interface (CLI). Some OneFS commands require root access.
      - Command-to-privilege mappingEach CLI command is associated with a privilege. Some commands require root access.
      - Privilege-to-command mappingEach privilege is associated with one or more commands. Some commands require root access.
  - Managing rolesYou can view, add, or remove members of any role. Except for built-in roles, whose privileges you cannot modify, you can add or remove OneFS privileges on a role-by-role basis.
  - TLS certificate data exampleTLS certificate renewal or replacement requires you to provide data such as a fully qualified domain name and a contact email address.
- 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
- S3 Support
- SmartQuotas
- Storage pools
- Pool-based tree reporting in FSAnalyze (FSA)
- Job management
- Networking
- Partitioned Performance Performing for NFS
- Antivirus
- File system explorer
