How to prove obfuscation & auto tiering function
Hi all,
Q1:
If I enable obfuscation, how could I prove the volume was encrypted ? All files or whole volume ?
#scli --mdm_ip 192.168.1.200 --set_obfuscation_properties --use_obfuscation
Q2:
Auto tiering function was optional in 1.30 version, it need additional separate XtremCache license.
Is include the "auto tiering" feature in ScaleIO 1.32 ?
Thanks in advance.

Answer for Q1:
If you stop SDS service and try to "read" the data directly from the disks (SDS devices), you will see that the data is obfuscated. The devices must be very small as otherwise you will not know where to read from.
The goal of obfuscation is that the data will not be readable when someone try to directly access the disks.
Stop SDS:
Windows: Stop the 'ScaleIO Data Server' service
Linux: /opt/emc/scaleio/sds/bin/delete_service.sh (and create_service.sh to start the SDS).
Answer for Q2:
When installing XtremCache 2.1 with ScaleIO 1.32, you can use a flag to install XtremCache in ScaleIO mode:
Linux: SCALEIO_MODE=YES rpm -i
Windows: msiexec /i SCALEIO_MODE=YES
This installation will disable License checks
Note: XtremCache will be fully integrated into ScaleIO 2.0 release (targeted to be released by end of 2015)
