Centera Tab, Storage Profile Definition

Use the Centera tab to identify the file recall path and the network addresses required to access the Centera Server. (For complete details on using Centera, refer to your EMC Centera documentation.)

Note: This tab is displayed only if you select the Copy to Backup Device check box and choose Centera from the corresponding drop-down list on the Primary Copy tab.
Storage Profile Definition with Centera as the active tab. The elements of the Centera tab are described as follows.

File Recall Path

The complete path to the default directory for Archive Files recalled from Centera. Click the arrow to select from the drop-down list, or click the browse button to select from your system directories. The Archive File is recalled as follows:

Authorization File Name

Enter a Pool Entry Authorization (PEA) file name, used to secure access to the Archive File on a Centera Cluster. Click the arrow to select from the drop-down list, or click the browse button to select from your system directories.

You must have read access to the PEA file to use it with Optim or Centera. To create or recall an Archive File secured with a PEA file, the PEA file must exist in the location specified in the Storage Profile.

Minimum File Retention

The minimum period for retaining Archive Files on Centera. The minimum retention period is measured from the time the Archive Process copies the Archive File to Centera. After the minimum retention period expires, the file can be deleted.

Note: This setting is available only if the Allow User to alter Minimum Retention check box in Product Options is selected.
Centera Default
Use the Centera default minimum retention period, based on your Centera configuration.
Infinite
Keep an Archive File on Centera indefinitely; the file cannot be deleted.
Interval
Protect an Archive File from deletion for a specified period. When you select Interval, the Years and Days boxes are enabled. You can enter a number of years, days, or a combination of both.
Years
The number of years (0 to 100) to protect an Archive File from deletion. The default is zero (0).
Days
The number of days (0 to 18300) to protect an Archive File from deletion. The default is zero (0). (18300 days equals 50 years.)
None
Do not use a minimum retention period; allow an Archive File to be deleted from Centera at any time.
Note: If Litigation Hold is set for an Archive File stored on a Centera backup device, you cannot delete the Archive File from storage, regardless of the file retention setting. (See Litigation Hold for information on this feature.)

Network Address

The DNS names or IP addresses required to access the Centera Server.
