BlackPearl

The Globus Connect Server BlackPearl Connector provides access to SpectraLogic BlackPearl storage via Globus Connect Server.

This document describes the data types and API routes provided by this connector.

SpectraLogic BlackPearl Connector Virtual Filesystem

SpectraLogic BlackPearl Connector provides a distributed object store, where each data object is accessed based on a bucket name and an object name.

The SpectraLogic BlackPearl Connector attempts to make this look like a regular filesystem, by treating the bucket name as the name of a directory in the root of the storage gateway’s file system. For example, if a user has access to buckets bucket1 and bucket2, then those buckets would show up as directories when listing /.

The SpectraLogic BlackPearl Connector also treats the / character as a delimiter in the SpectraLogic BlackPearl API so that it can present something that looks like like subdirectories. For example, the object object1 in bucket1 would appear as /bucket1/object1 to the SpectraLogic BlackPearl connector, and the object object2/object3 in bucket2 would appear as a file called object3 in the directory /bucket2/object2.

SpectraLogic BlackPearl Connector Storage Gateway Policies

The SpectraLogic BlackPearl Connector has policies to configure the URL of the S3-compatible API endpoint providing access to the SpectraLogic BlackPearl system, and to specify the path to a configuration file which maps account names to SpectraLogic BlackPearl credentials.

Endpoint

The s3_endpoint property is used by {gcs} to contact the S3-compatible API to access data on a SpectraLogic BlackPearl system.

Access ID File

The bp_access_id_file property is used to allow {gcs} to find a configuration file on the Data Transfer Node which contains information about SpectraLogic BlackPearl names and keys.
