How to integrate FileCloud with Scality Storage

Administrators can change the FileCloud storage type after FileCloud has been installed but BEFORE any data has been stored.

When changing the storage type from local to Scality, the files and folders that have been already stored in the local storage will not be automatically moved to S3 storage.
In this case, the administrator has to manually export files and folders from local storage before changing storage type and manually import them after changing the storage type.

WARNINGS:

Only change the FileCloud storage type for new installations.
Do not change the FileCloud storage type if FileCloud has been in use and data is already stored.
Be very careful when changing the storage path, If done improperly it could lead to data loss.
The Scality Bucket should NEVER be modified outside of FileCloud subsystem
Do not add, edit, or modify files directly using Scality tools. Doing so will destabilize your FileCloud installation.

To change the FileCloud storage path from LOCAL to SCALITY:

1. Enable Scality object storage

NOTES:

Although FileCloud does not have an explicit connector for Scality, the Amazon S3 connector can be used.

In this step you will need to access WWWROOT. It is typically located at:

Windows	Linux
c:\xampp\htdocs	/var/www/html

To enable Scality storage as the backend:

To make sure that your server does not have any time variations, set up the time on your server to be synchronized.
1. Configure an authoritative time server in Windows Server
2. Synchronize Time with NTP in Linux
Open the following file for editing:
```
WWWROOT/config/cloudconfig.php
```

Find the following line:

define("TONIDOCLOUD_STORAGE_IMPLEMENTATION", "local");

Change it to this line:

define("TONIDOCLOUD_STORAGE_IMPLEMENTATION", "amazons3");

Save and close the file.

Find the following file:

WWWROOT/config/amazons3storageconfig-sample.php

Rename it to:

WWWROOT/config/amazons3storageconfig.php

Nothing needs to be added or edited in amazons3storageconfig.php

2. Configure Credentials

S3 Bucket Name	Provide a bucket name. The bucket should be new (in some circumstance, previously used bucket in FileCloud could be used). It is very important that the S3 bucket is never modified outside of the FileCloud subsystem, the bucket name is case sensitive make sure you are using the exact name of the bucket.
S3 Storage Folder	Optional: All files will be stored inside this root storage folder (Will be created automatically).
S3 Region	Optional: Provide the region string.
S3 End Point URL	This is the S3 endpoint. note that for each region there is a specific Endpoint URL.
