Eon on-premises storage

OpenText™ Analytics Database supports the following storage platforms for the Eon Mode running on-premises.

Hewlett Packard Enterprises (HPE)

The database supports Hewlett Packard Enterprise (HPE) Alletra Storage MP X10000 for databases running in Eon Mode on-premises:

Note

The database does not support the use of Management Console or admintools to administer data located on MP X10000 hardware.

Pure Storage FlashBlade

The database supports communal storage on Pure Storage FlashBlade version 3.0.0 and later. See Create an Eon Mode database on-premises with FlashBlade for more information.

The database does not support Management Console or admintools to administer data in Pure Storage hardware.

For information about configuring Pure Storage, see support.purestorage.com.

MinIO

The database supports communal storage on MinIO version 2018-12-27T18:33:08Z and later. See Create an Eon Mode database on-premises with MinIO for more information.

Caution

In Eon Mode, the database relies on the communal storage platform to manage data safety and integrity. For production use, always use MinIO in a distributed mode cluster. This mode provides high availability and data integrity protection. See the Distributed MinIO Quickstart Guide for instructions on configuring MinIO in distributed mode.

To ensure MinIO consistency guarantees, MinIO must be configured for read-after-write and list-after-write consistency. For details, see the MinIO documentation.

The database does not support Management Console or admintools to administer data in MinIO.

See the MinIO website for more information about MinIO.

HDFS

The database supports communal storage on HDFS when accessed through WebHDFS. For more information, see Create an Eon Mode database on-premises with HDFS.

For HDFS, the following are not supported:

The MapR distribution of HDFS, which is accessed through an NFS mount point and not through WebHDFS.
Using the Management Console or admintools to administer data in HDFS.
Cloudera (CDH) versions 5.x in Eon Mode.
The copycluster vbr backup and restore utility for communal storage on HDFS.

CEPH

The database supports communal storage on CEPH, an open source distributed storage platform. CEPH spreads data across a cluster of servers. This means that no single server stores all the data, making it a shared resource that is accessible by multiple users within a network, rather than local storage on a single device.

For details, see Red Hat CEPH Storage.

Other validated object storage

The preceding sections detail storage platforms and versions that the engineering team tests for specific performance and load thresholds. In addition to these storage platforms, the Partner Engineering team validates object storage platforms that meet strict performance requirements.

For details, see On-Premises.
