FMA archive configuration for IAP
FMA is using the ILM Object Storage API interface for accessing the HP Integrated Archive Platform (IAP)
as a backend archive.
Any documents with a size of up to 1.58 GB can be sent from an FMA managed volume to the IAP.
Depending on FMA’s RSA-IAP configuration, a specific set of metadata about the document can be attached
to the binary object. The following metadata is attached by FMA:
• File modification date
• MIME type of the file
• Full path name in UNC notation
• File security depending on FMA’s recipients options
• Subject (file name without path and file extension)
FMA’s recipients options and the Recipients field entries determine which IAP repositories are granted
access to the binary object. The access information is retrieved from the document’s Access Control List
(ACL).
Documents are automatically retrieved from the IAP, when a user or application accesses the document on
the FMA managed volume. To search for documents, users can use the IAP Web Interface embedded in a
standard IAP solution.
If a IAP is mirrored on a remote location using the IAP Replication Manager, the host name or IP address of
the replica site needs to be entered to the input field Secondary IAP. In this case FMA retrieves data from the
