FMA archive configuration for RISS
FMA is using the ILM Object Storage API interface for accessing the HP StorageWorks Reference
Information Storage System (RISS) as a backend archive. (For further information on integration
requirements, see ”Archive store configuration” on page 129.)
Any documents with a size of up to 1.58 GB can be sent from an FMA managed volume to the RISS.
Depending on FMA’s RSA-RISS configuration, a specific set of metadata about the document can be
attached to the binary object. The following metadata is attached by FMA:
• File modification date
• MIME type of the file
• Full path name in UNC notation
• File security depending on FMA’s recipients options
• Subject (file name without path and file extension)
FMA’s recipients options and the Recipients field entries determine which RISS repositories are granted
access to the binary object. The access information is retrieved from the document’s Access Control List
(ACL).

Documents will be automatically retrieved from the RISS, when a user or application accesses the document
on the FMA managed volume. To search for documents, users can use the RISS Web Interface embedded
in a standard RISS solution.
If a RISS is mirrored on a remote location using the RISS Replication Manager, the host name or IP address
of the replica site needs to be entered to the input field Secondary RISS. In this case FMA will retrieve data
from the replica site, when the primary RISS is not available. If the primary RISS site can not accept any
incoming traffic, FMA does not redirect the data traffic to the replica site.
