Title: Whos using ICOS?
Post by: jsquizz on April 23, 2019, 06:47:06 AM

Looking for some feedback, success stories, maybe even some best practices to those who are using ICOS with CMOD 10.1.

I am currently using it as my storage manager in my sandbox environment, and it seems to be working good, but I am wondering if anyone could share stories. Maybe talk about how they have their vaults configured? Are you using one vault for everything, or are you using a 1 Appgroup to 1 vault relationship?

Currently, I am loading everything to one vault..but I am thinking of changing that up. And making a new storage set for every app group because of different retention requirements. Also seems like it would be easier to manage that way.

Thanks in advance.

I haven't used ICOS, but I strongly recommend a one-to-one-to-one relationship for storage management - 1 AG = 1 Storage Set = 1 'storage bucket'.  It keeps the data separate, and allows you to manage changes without affecting other App Groups.

Was thinking that also. Since we have different BU's setup with different device classes in centera.

Thankfully, it's just one entry in the ars.icos file, and a bunch of "Vault.server" DNS entries for us. Of course, a storage set linked to each one.
