How to configure EMC Elastic Cloud Storage (ECS) as an Enterprise Vault Partition.

When using the 'Safe copy check' as described in the Admin Console, to receive acknowledgements via the ECS S3 API safe check, if the value '1' is used it will fail to use a valid value for the API.

When using a Policy to convert archived files to Placeholder shortcuts, set the following:

1. Go to the Vault Store Properties --- Safety Copies tab
2. Select the checkbox 'Remove Original Items'
3. Under under 'Default behaviour:' choose option 'Yes, in the original location'.
4. Go to the Advanced tab, under List settings from: Dell EMC Elastic Cloud Storage (ECS) and set 'Safe copy check' with a value '2'

Note: The Description shown at this level suggests that to use the ECS S3 API safe check the value '1' should be used; but this information is not correct and should be ignored. The accepted values are either '0' - no check or '2' - safe check.

The Dell EMC documentation describing the integration between ECS and Enterprise Vault states that it is not necessary to use the 'Safe copy check' as the replication within the Storage nodes is reliable.

However, where items have not yet been ingested into the Storage partition, if problems occur while processing the content in the Storage Queue (SQ) files, there is a risk of data loss.

Due to the risk, the Vault Store Partition should not be configured with the option to remove safety copies immediately after archiving.
