Cloudpools Question
I am testing cloudpools. I was able to add the cloud pools from Azure and AWS and my filepool polices are working fine. I see the files archived to the cloud as stubbed. Here are two problems I have:
1. I don't see the files from the Azure or S3 side. I am an admin on AWS and I still can't not see the files. I made a a read policy for myself on the S3 and still no luck.
2. When I try to open the files that were moved from the SMB shares, It fails..saying "can not open....make sure a disk is in the drive?. Do we have to recall the files first from OneFS to open the stubbed files?
Just want to know if this is by design or am I missing anything? I am testing on a virtual cluster running OneFS 8.0.0.4.
Thanks

Yes, the DR cluster is licensed. I need to verify the network connectivity from DR to AWS.
one thing I would like to clarify is if the syncIQ job deletes the original data in DR first before it syncs the smartlinks from the source. Is that a correct statement?

PHIL>yes, DR file would get deleted and replaced with source stub.
Maybe you want a Deep Copy option?
Isilon SyncIQ to cloud?
https://support.emc.com/docu65068_OneFS-8.0.0-Web-Administration-Guide.pdf?language=en_US
Admin guide 8.0 specifies that you can restore data from cloud you check for SyncIQ deep copy on pg 451.
As per guide it says
You can create a SyncIQ policy that restores full files rather than SmartLink files when copying data from the primary (source) cluster to a secondary (target) cluster. When you create a SyncIQ policy, you can modify the Deep Copy for CloudPools setting. The default setting is Deny, which means that, during a SyncIQ operation, SmartLink files are replicated to the target cluster. Alternatively, you can select either the Allow or Force option for deep copy. When you select Allow, SyncIQ still replicates SmartLink files to the target cluster unless there is a SmartLink version mismatch, in which case the full file data is retrieved from the cloud and replicated. When you specify Force for deep copy, CloudPools retrieves and copies full file data from the cloud for all SmartLink files affected by the SyncIQ policy, and replicates the full files to the target cluster.
I hope this give you and path to test out things. Also check features in SyncIQ deep copy.
Thanks
