Quantum StorNext Integration - Storage Path Configurations – CloudSoda

The storage path configuration is a way to map a DataIntell On-Premises storage to a StorNext storage. It should be noted that to archive or restore files using the StorNext plugin, there should be an On-Premises storage for StorNext and that it should have been scanned at least once.

To do so, one way would be to mount the StorNext storage and create an On-Premises storage in DataIntell with the mounted path.

Once the setup is done, you can go to the Quantum StorNext Integration section in the Data Settings page and create a new Storage Path Configurations.

DataManagementDocumentation_StorNext_StoragePathButton.png — From the (1) Data Settings page, go into the Quantum StorNext Integration section and click on the (2) “+” sign.

Within the opened modal, you can fill out the required information:

On-Premises Storage: The On-Premises storage that you set up to scan the Quantum StorNext storage.
Quantum StorNext Credentials: The credentials associated to the Quantum StorNext storage.
DataIntell Path: The path on DataIntell that should be mapped to the StorNext path. Usually, it should at least be the mounted path.
Quantum StorNext Path: The path on StorNext that should be mapped to the DataIntell path.

DataManagementDocumentation_StorNext_StoragePathWizard.png — Fill out the (1) On-Premises Storage, (2) Quantum StorNext Credentials, (3) DataIntell Path and (4) Quantum StorNext Path to create a new storage path configurations for Quantum StorNext.

An example for the paths would be:

DataIntell Path: /Volumes/cvfs1/archive
StorNext Path: /stornext/cvfs1/archive

An example of how to find the StorNext Path:
