HP StoreAll Storage - Manual (Page 171)

the share name is displayed with its peer share name in parentheses in the share name column.
For example, if you have a StoreAll REST API-enabled HTTP share named “share2” you will have
a peer share named “share2Ibrix”.
For example, assume you enter the following command, where ifs2 is the name of the file system:
ibrix_httpshare -l -f ifs2
Output similar to the following is displayed for the HTTP shares associated with the file system
named ifs2:
To see the share with its peer, enter the following command:
ibrix_httpshare -l -o -f ifs2
Output similar to the following is displayed:
Note that the GUI displays only the user specified share. It does not display the pair of shares. In
other words it does not have the equivalent of the ‘-o’ option on the CLI.
Always send your HTTP requests to the URL path of the share you have created, not to the share
appended by “Ibrix”. The API routes the request to the right share automatically. The “Ibrix”
appended share handles API queries and assignments (any URI with a string “?...” after the path/file
name).

Component overview
The StoreAll REST a number of components, such as custom metadata assignments, metadata
queries, and retention properties assignments.
Custom metadata assignment
You can associate any number of custom (user-defined) metadata attributes to any file or directory
stored on an IBRIX retention-enabled file system where the Express Query metadata store is enabled.
Each custom attribute consists of an attribute name and assigned value. The API provides commands
to create custom metadata entries for a file, replace values of existing entries, and delete entries.
