Repositories on WORM storage
- Stefan Franz
Analytics
The tia Content Manager Core stores storage configuration data and volume metrics into a directory below repository root folder. Its name is a Base32-encoding of .kgs. For the concrete name of this folder and other details see How volume data is stored in tia® Content Server.
The tia Content Server must have full access to this directory for reading, writing, modifying, and deleting files.
Issue description
When the repository’s storage is either a WORM (write-once-read-many) storage, or controls the retention, the tia Content Server is missing these rights and runs into error.
This is especially affects the storage services netapp, icas, netappv3, icasv3, while may be an issue on splitfilesystemv2, splitfilesystemv2 depending on the configuration.
Possible solutions
In container start command, map the .kgs(encoded)-folder by volume mapping to a volume, where the Content Server has full access fights and without any hardware retention being set.writable
