HP 3PAR X9000 File Serving Software (IBRIX) Implementation Guide (QL226-96987, June 2013)

NOTE: Data tiering has a cool-down period of approximately 10 minutes. If a file was last
accessed during the cool-down period, the file will not be moved.
For more information about these commands, see the HP StoreAll Storage CLI Reference Guide,
which is available on the following HP website:

Using HTTP
The HTTP feature allows you to create HTTP file shares for data stored on the cluster. Clients access
the HTTP shares using standard HTTP and HTTPS protocol services. This section describes general
steps and commands that are required to export HTTP shares using the StoreAll OS CLI.
1. Create a mounted file system on StoreAll 9300 hosts using the LUNs that are exported to the
StoreAll 9300 from HP 3PAR. See “Mounting a File System” (page 28).
2. Configure authentication for users accessing the HTTP share. Users accessing HTTP shares
can be authenticated either through Active Directory or through Local Users.
3. You must add an SSL certificate to the cluster before creating the shares. This SSL certificate
will be required to access the HTTPS shares. To add a certificate to the cluster, use the following
command:
# ibrix_certificate -a -c CERTNAME -p CERTPATH
4. For example, to add a certificate named httpcert at the location /root/
binhttp_certificate.txt, use the following command:
# ibrix_certificate -a -c httpcert -p /root/binhttp_certificate.txt
5. The HTTP configuration consists of a configuration profile, a virtual host, and an HTTP share.
A configuration profile specifies a set of global HTTP parameters in effect on the file serving
nodes listed in the profile. Use the following command to add an HTTP configuration file:
# ibrix_httpconfig -a PROFILENAME [-h HOSTLIST] [-S SETTINGLIST]
For example, to create an HTTP profile named httpprofile for the hosts list
eos172s1.vpi.hp.com and eos172s2.vpi.hp.com with the settings list of
keepalive=true and maxclients=200, issue the following command:
# ibrix_httpconfig -a httpprofile -h eos172s1.vpi.hp.com,eos172s2.vpi.hp.com -S
keepalive=true,maxclients=200
6. An HTTP virtual host is associated with an HTTP configuration profile. The virtual host specifies
the IP addresses/ports that clients will use to access the HTTP shares associated with the
configuration profile. The virtual host also specifies the SSL certificate that will be used for
HTTPS connections. You can use the following command to add an HTTP virtual host:
# ibrix_httpvhost -a VHOSTNAME -c PROFILENAME -I IP-Address:Port [-S SETTINGLIST]
