An HCP S Series Node has three interfaces for client access:
- The web-based HCP S Series Management Console supports only management functions.
- The RESTful HCP S Series management API supports only management functions.
- The RESTful Hitachi API for Amazon S3 (the S3 compatible API) supports only data access functions.Note: The only supported data access protocol for the S Series Node is the Hitachi API for Amazon S3.
To support the use of HTTPS with these interfaces, the S Series Node must have an SSL server certificate. Using HTTPS with the S3 compatible API is possible only if the S Series Node is configured to support the use of SSL for data access.
If you have the administrator or service role, you can use the HCP S Series Management Console or management API to configure the interfaces that enable access to the S Series Node.
