How to Set Up Recovery Manager for VAST​

Create a View with an S3 Bucket​

ALL VIEWS from files that should be protected and recovered must be underneath this view path. If it is not under this path, it can’t be recovered.

List Items

For example: There is a view /user-test4/data-access1. Create an S3 bucket on path /user-test4 to set up the Recovery Manager.

Set bucket owner for S3 Bucket​

This user MUST be a non-local user, and it must have ONE OR LESS access keys. (i.e., none or one).

Add view path​

Add view path to <recovery_manager_view_path> in system.xml.

igls config settings set --tag=recovery_manager_view_path --value=<value>

How to Add Eyeglass to the Ignored List​

For the correct work of the Recovery Manager, the user needs to add their Eyeglass IP address to the Ignored List to prevent this user from being locked out.
