Create your own bucket using IBM Spectrum Protect
This guide will show you how easy it is to setup your own bucket using IBM Spectrum Protect
The required softwares are:
- IBM Spectrum Protect Client API
- spictera
- spfs
- gsk encryption packages
First one have to decide where they want to install the minio server, and administrative panels. It is where you need the above components installed
Installation SPFS and Spectrum Protect
# rpm -i gsk*
# rpm -i TIVsm-API64*.rpm
# rpm -i spictera*.rpm
# rpm -i spfs*.rpm
Or
# dpkg -i gsk*.deb
# dpkg -i tivsm-api64*.deb
# dpkg -i spictera*.deb
# dpkg -i spfs*.deb
Decide where you want to mount the SPFS filesystem?
Decide what type of objects you aim to use archive or backup?
- backup is where the last unique objectname is stored forever, and previously names has a retention policy
- archive is where every object stored has a retention policy set
