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. For information about APEX File Storage Services, see the Dell Technologies APEX File Storage Services Administration Guide.
- Scale-out NAS overviewThe scale-out NAS storage platform combines modular hardware with unified software to harness unstructured data. The OneFS operating system powers the platform to deliver a scalable pool of storage with a global namespace.
- Where to get help
- 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 sharing overviewMultiprotocol support in OneFS enables accessing files and directories on the PowerScale cluster through SMB for Windows file sharing, NFS for UNIX file sharing, secure shell (SSH), FTP, and HTTP.
  - SMB securityOneFS includes a configurable SMB service to create and manage SMB shares. SMB shares provide Windows clients with network access to file system resources on the cluster. You can grant permissions to users and groups to perform operations such as reading, writing, and setting access permissions on SMB shares.
  - NFS securityOneFS provides an NFS server so you can share files on your cluster with NFS clients that adhere to the RFC1813 (NFSv3) and RFC3530 (NFSv4) specifications.
  - FTPOneFS includes a secure FTP service that is called Very Secure FTP Daemon (VSFTPD), that you can configure for standard FTP and FTPS file transfers.
  - HTTP and HTTPS securityOneFS includes a configurable Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP) service. Use HTTP to request files that are stored on the cluster and to interact with the web administration interface.
- File filteringFile filtering enables you to allow or deny file writes based on file type.
