Hitachi Content Platform (HCP) is a distributed storage system that can be used through a VFS connection in the PDI client.
Within HCP, access control lists (ACLs) grant privileges to the user to perform a variety of file operations. Namespaces, owned and managed by tenants, are used for logical groupings, access and permissions, and object metadata such as versioning, retention and shred settings. For more information about HCP, see the Introduction to Hitachi Content Platform.
Perform the following steps to setup access to HCP:
Note: The following process assumes that you have HCP tenant permissions and that namespaces have been created. For more information, see Tenant Management Console.
Note: To create a successful VFS connection to
HCP, object versioning must be configured in HCP
Namespaces.
- Log on to the HCP Tenant Management Console.
-
Click Namespaces and
then select the Name you want to configure.
- In the Protocols tab, click HTTP(S), and verify Enable HTTPS and Enable REST API with Authenticated access only are selected.
- In the Settings tab, select ACLs.
- Select the Enable ACLs check box and, when prompted, click Enable ACLs to confirm.
This completes the setup of HCP for accessing files in the
PDI client.
