## 6.1.5 Cloud Tier Settings (TS7700C only) 

Skip this section if you use a TS7700T or TS7700D. Use the TS7700 MI for the setup tasks that are described here. Select Cloud Tier Settings  in the Settings group, as shown in Figure 6-1.

To use TS7700C Cloud Storage Tier, you must define the following settings: 

GLYPH<SM590000> Cloud pools 

Similar to physical volume pools in TS7700T, a cloud pool  is a data storage policy that is to be associated to virtual volumes that are intended to be copied to a cloud repository. 

GLYPH<SM590000> Cloud accounts 

This setting includes details about credentials for users who are authorized to access target cloud repository and type of repository. 

GLYPH<SM590000> Containers 

A Cloud Container  represents the specific space (within the target cloud repository) that is assigned to the TS7700C to store virtual volumes in the form of object files. The Cloud Container window in the MI is also used to declare or record the following information: 

– Cloud URL of a supported S3 cloud repository service: 

GLYPH<129> Amazon Web Services (AWS) 

GLYPH<129> IBM Cloud Storage Service (on-premises) 

– Cloud URL to cluster association 

Note:  For more information about tasks that are required to implement a TS7770C or TS7760C, see IBM TS7700 R5.0 Cloud Storage Tier Guide , REDP-5573. 

## 6.1.6 Defining fence actions 

In most cases, the TS7700 can detect when it is suffering from problems that can affect its availability. However, certain conditions are difficult to detect. This difficulty can be caused by the intermittent nature of the failure, the frequency at which it occurs, its duration, or other circumstances that can escape the normal mechanism for local detection. Under these circumstances, the failing cluster can still report itself as being “healthy”, even if it is not.
