Updating Data Mover settings

The Data Mover settings are available once the installation and setup are completed. For more information, see Installing the Data Mover Portal.

Procedure. To update Data Mover settings:

  1. On the left-hand menu, select Data Mover and then select Settings.

  2. In the Actions column, select Settings.

  3. Edit the following information and select OK.

    Note

    Field Name

    Description

    Data Mover

    Specifies the name of the Data Mover.

    Data Source Path

    Specifies the on-prem mounting NAS exported directory as data source path to sync data to Cloud

    Restore Path

    Specifies the on-prem mounting NAS exported directory as data restore path to restore data from Cloud

    Note

    The restore path cannot be the same as Data Source Path.

    Restore ACL

    Specifies on-prem data upload and restore with ACL from the cloud.

    Note

    You need to grant sudo  permission access to the user to Restore ACL successfully. If ACL is enabled, it requires more CPU and memory resource.

    Sync Mode

    Specifies is the sync is Auto or Manual.

    Use toggle to change the sync mode.

    Upload(Max)

    Specifies the maximum threads for data upload to the cloud. By default the the value is 100.

    Threads are multiple processes running concurrently to process multiple files upload at the same time.

    50 threads ~ 250 Mbps and WAN Internet bandwidth dependency

    You can iIncrease threads for higher bandwidth and reduce for lower bandwidth.

    Max queue produce

    Specifies Max queue produced per fetch from metadata. Queue refers to staging area for number of files preparing to upload to Cloud. There are no changes required in normal situation.

    It will not be in the queue from 1,00,000 onwards.

    Upload Part Size

    Specifies the min part size in MB to divide into small files. Big files are split in small sizes of 5MB before they are uploaded.

    Threadpool

    Specifies the max number of multipart upload threads in the pool. Threads are multiple processes running concurrently to process multiple multipart files to upload at the same time.

    Threshold

    Specifies the min file size in MB to trigger the multipart upload. the default value is 10 MB. Large file size greater than 10MB are split into 5MB each before uploading

    Restore Thread(max)

    Specifies the max restore threads for data restoration from cloud to on-premise restore path. Threads are multiple processes running concurrently to process multiple files for restore at the same time.

    50 threads ~ 250 Mbps and WAN Internet bandwidth dependency

    Increase threads for bigger bandwidth and power CPU/RAM and reduce for lower bandwidth or having less CPU/RAM.

    Sync Thread(max)

    Specifies max Sync threads for data sync. Threads are multiple processes running concurrently to process multiple files scan and sync at the same time.

    Increase threads if no Queue and having powerful CPU/RAM, reduce threads for high Queue or having less CPU/RAM.

  4. In Data Mover Setting, change the Upload (Max) Threads and Restore ACL if required.

    • Upload (Max)Threads: Define the number based on your allocated site network bandwidth. Reference: 50 Threads ~ 250 Mbps.

    • Restore ACL (Access Control List): By default, it is disabled. Enable to upload/restore ACL to/from Lyve if required

      Note

      Requires more CPU/memory resources when enabling ACL.

  5. Sync is set as Manual by default, you can set it to auto.

    • Manual Sync

      • Used for new Data Mover setup and verification.

      • Used for one-time sync for archived data (static in nature).

    • Auto sync

      • Used for continuous sync for all data, including new/modified files (dynamic in nature).

  3. Configure Log Retention.

    By default, the retention values are set to 7.

    1. Edit the Notification Retention, Audit Log Purge, and Running Log Purge in the number of days.

      Based on the number of days, the details are available in the respective section of Data Mover.

  4. Configure Mail Settings.

    1. Select System from the menu and then select Settings.

    2. Select Mail Settings from the menu options displayed.

    3. Enter the specific SMTP server details and the Receiver's list.

      Automated email alerts are sent to the users in the Receiver list in the event of any of the Storage, CPU, Memory and Database utilization exceeded the defined threshold%

      Following is a sample email.

  5. Configure the LDAP for Read-only active directories to perform user authentication through AD.

    1. Select System from the menu and then select Settings.

    2. Select LDAP from the menu options displayed.
