Overview

The Hitachi Object Storage connector in DryvIQ allows you to analyze, migrate, copy, and synchronize files between your Amazon S3-compatible storage system managed by Hitachi Content Platform for cloud scale and other cloud storage repositories and on-premise network file shares. The first step is to create the connection by providing the connection information required for DryvIQ to connect to the platform. The connector can be created using any account with permissions to access the content.

Creating a Connection

Expand the Manage section in the left navigation menu.
Click Connections.
Click Add connection.
Select Hitachi Object Storage as the platform on the Add connection modal.
Enter the connection information. Reference the table below for details about each field.
Test the connection to ensure DryvIQ can connect using the information entered.
You will see a "Connection test succeeded" message on the Add connection modal when DryvIQ establishes connection. (If you don't see this message, verify the information you entered.)
Select Done to finish creating the connection.
