9.2 Adding and Modifying Zones

9.2.1 Adding a Zone

Path: Port 8443 Filr Admin Console Management > Zones > Add

Table 9-2 Using the Add Zone dialog

Field, Option, or Button

Information and/or Action

  • Zone Name

  • Specify a unique name to describe the zone. The name can include alphanumeric characters and should use less than or equal to 128 characters.

  • Virtual Host

  • Specify the hostname or fully qualified domain name of the zone that you have set up in DNS. The name should include less than or equal to 255 characters.

  • Ensure that the hostname does not include the special character “_”.

  • Description

  • Specify a short description for the zone. This is an optional field and is limited to 128 characters.

  • Unrestricted Storage

  • Specifies the total amount of storage space that all the users in the zone can use in the Filr site. By default, the Unrestricted Storage option is selected, which means that the storage space in the Filr site is not restricted for the zone.

  • To restrict the storage space for the zone:

    1. Deselect the Unrestricted Storage option.

    2. Specify values for the following:

      • Storage Quota: Specify the total amount of disk space (in GB or TB) that all the users in the zone can use in the Filr site.

        IMPORTANT:Do not specify a zero value (0) for the Storage Quota.

      • Default High-Water Mark: Specify the percentage of the zone storage quota utilization, when the zone administrator has to be notified that the zone users are approaching the storage quota. The default high-water mark is 90% of the total storage quota for the zone.

        IMPORTANT:Do not specify a zero value (0) for the Default High-Water Mark.

9.2.2 Modifying a Zone

Path: Port 8443 Filr Admin Console Management > Zone > Select a zone > Modify.

Generally, the information in Adding a Zone applies to modifying a zone. You can modify the value of the Virtual Host and Unrestricted Storage. On modifying the new value for the virtual host, ensure the following:

  • You must remove the DNS record for the previous virtual host value specified for the zone.

  • The new value does not include the special character “_”. This fails to launch the console and results in “Error 400”.

9.2.3 Deleting Zones

Path: Port 8443 Filr Admin ConsoleManagement > Zone > Select one or more zones > Delete.

When you delete a zone, you must remove the DNS record for the virtual host specified for the zone.

WARNING:Deleting the zone permanently deletes all zone-related entities and data from Filr and it cannot be undone.
