Configure the IIS Server for Celerra Proxy Stub Subclient Support

The following procedure describes the steps involved in configuring the IIS Server for Celerra Proxy Stub Subclient support.

Before You Begin

  • The user ID must have administrator-level privileges on the computer hosting the IIS Server in order to perform these tasks.
  • Keep in mind that the computer hosting the IIS Server being configured for Celerra Proxy Stub Subclient support can either be on the same computer as the File Archiver for Windows Agent, or a physically different computer.

Create a New Virtual Directory

1. From Internet Information Services (IIS) Manager, create a new Virtual Directory. To do this, right-click Default Web Site, select New, then click Virtual Directory.
2. The Virtual Directory Creation Wizard will display. Click Next to continue.
3. Type in the Alias name for the Virtual Directory to be created, which can be any descriptive name (e.g., Celerra_proxy), then click Next.

 
4. Type in or Browse the local Path to the directory that will be used as a Virtual Directory, then click Next.
 
5. On the Virtual Directory Access Permissions dialog, select the options for Read and Write and Browse permissions, then click Next.
6. Click Finish on the completion dialog.

Configure Security for the New Virtual Directory

7. Right-click the Virtual Directory that was just created, then select Properties and click the Directory Security tab.

Click Edit in the Authentication and access control portion of the Directory Security tab to display the Authentication Methods dialog.

8. On the Authentication Methods dialog, select the Basic authentication checkbox and click OK.
9. Click Yes to confirm.
10. On the Authentication Methods dialog, type in or Select the name of the Default domain and click OK.

Configure Content Expiration for the New Virtual Directory

11. On the Properties dialog, click the Header Security tab, then select the Enable content expiration checkbox. This option will allow stub files to expire when not needed. Click Apply then click OK.

After configuring the IIS Server, follow the procedure to Configure the EMC Celerra File Server for Celerra Proxy Stub Subclient Support.

Define a Connection between the EMC Celerra Data Mover and the Proxy Host

12. At the command prompt, define a connection between the EMC Celerra Data Mover and the proxy host where the File Archiver for Windows Agent is installed. The EMC Celerra File Server will use this connection to recall files, and can be configured to use either HTTP or CIFS access. For purposes of this example, we will use HTTP.

HTTP Syntax:
fs_dhsm -connection <file_system_name_where_share_resides> -create -type http -secondary <http://proxy_server_name/virtual_directory_name> -read_policy_override full -cgi n

HTTP Example:
fs_dhsm -connection FS6 -create -type http -secondary http://exsrv1/celerra_proxy -read_policy_override full -cgi n

Where "FS6" is the name of the file system where the share resides, and where "http://exsrv1/celerra_proxy" is the URL of the virtual directory on the proxy server (in this example).

[root@scylla bin]# fs_dhsm -connection FS6 -create -type http -secondary http://exsrv1/celerra_proxy -read_policy_override full -cgi n
FS6:
state                = enabled
offline attr:        = on
popup timeout        = 0
backup:              = passthrough
read policy override = none
log file:            = on
max log size:        = 10MB
 cid                 = 1
   type                 = HTTP
   secondary            = http://exsrv1/celerra_proxy
   state                = enabled
   read policy override = full
   write policy         =        full
   user                 =
   options              = cgi=n

Done

  NOTES

The following syntax can be used to create a connection and to provide access credential in a single command. Example
fs_dhsm -connection FS3 -create -type http -secondary <http://exsrv1/celerra_proxy> -read_policy_override full -cgi n -user <domain\\username> -password <user_password>
