6.5 HP StoreAll OS User Guide

• You must assign read, write, and execute permissions to the share’s directory path and all
parent directories up to the file system mount point to allow accounts to be created by their
owners through the API. For example, if your share’s directory path is /objFS1/objStore,
and the file system objFS1 is mounted at /objFS1, both directories must be set to read,
write, and execute permissions.
• The use of the version parameter for all REST API file-compatible shares is recommended.
Obtaining the HP StoreAll REST API Sample Client Application
The HP StoreAll product includes a REST API to provide programmatic access to user-stored files
and their metadata. HP provides a sample Java client application to guide customer developers.
To obtain the sample Java client:
1. Go to the StoreAll download drivers and software page:
http://www.hp.com/support/StoreAllDownloads.
2. Select your product and then select the operating system.
3. Locate and download the HP StoreAll REST API sample client application.
4. Contents from the file must be extracted in a specific folder. Before you unzip the download,
see the HP StoreAll REST API Sample Client Application Design Reference that downloaded
with the Java client for specific instructions.
At publication time of the HP StoreAll Storage File System User Guide, the Java sample client
only covers file-compatible mode, and the HP StoreAll REST API Sample Client Application
Design Reference uses terminology from StoreAll version 6.2, such as referring to file-compatible
mode as REST Object API.
