Prerequisites for Archived Data Migration

Prerequisites for Archived Data Migration

Verify the following prerequisites:
  • The source and target storage locations are configured within the same Data Vault instance.
  • The Data Vault Service is started.
  • The ssamigrate command line utility is installed in the Data Vault root installation directory.
  • Verify that there are no pending or running retirement and Data Vault loader jobs. Also verify that any compliance jobs (legal hold, retention, purge) are not running.

Additional Prerequisites for Storage Systems that use the Amazon S3 API Version 2 Protocol

If you are migrating archived data to a Data Vault external storage system that uses the Amazon S3 API Version 2 protocol, such as Amazon Web Services S3 or EMC Elastic Cloud Storage, complete the following prerequisites:
  1. Install the libcurl API libcurl.so.4.2.0 and the dependent libraries in the following two directories:
    Data Vault Service Directory
    On Windows, install the files in the root folder of the Data Vault Service directory.
    On UNIX, install the files in the
    /<File Archive Service Directory>/odbc
     directory.
    Data Vault Service Agent Directory
    On Windows or UNIX, install the files in the root folder of the Data Vault Service agent directory.
    If the Data Vault Service agent is installed on multiple machines, install the files on each machine that hosts a Data Vault Service agent.
  2. Add the Amazon Web Services S3 parameters in the ssa.ini file of the Data Vault Service.
    Add the following required parameters at the end of the
    /<File Archive Service Directory>/ssa.ini
     file:
    [AWS_CONNECTION <archive folder name>]
    Example for Amazon Web Services S3 where
    test
     is the name of the archive folder: 
    [AWS_CONNECTION test]
    AWS_KEY=<Amazon Web Services key>:<Amazon Web Services secret key>
    Example for Amazon Web Services S3: 
    AWS_KEY=AKIAI62XJDKZAY:MFx94W+ZlGTdEXom+21BKBh4Y4ZM792GiFuR6m
    For the Data Vault Service to support the migration, the AWS_KEY value must not exceed 128 characters.
  3. Optionally, you can validate the connection to the external storage from the Data Vault Service.
    Use the Data Vault Service ssadrv administration command to validate the connection details you added to the
    ssa.ini
     file.
    On the machine that hosts the Data Vault Service, run the following commands: 
    ssadrv -a aws://<connection
name>/<URL>/<Amazon Web Services bucket>/
    Example: 
    ssadrv -a
aws://test/https://s3.amazonaws.com/awsBucket/
