About ObjectScale
Dell ObjectScale is the next evolution of object storage from Dell and is built to run in Kubernetes and run efficiently on shared
infrastructure and in multitenant environments.
ObjectScale gives organizations the power to put data closer to the applications they support, reducing latency and improving
the user experience. In addition, object storage from disparate platforms can cross-replicate for greater access, reliability, and
redundancy.
ObjectScale is an enterprise-grade object storage with these features and functionality:
● Simple, S3-compatible enterprise-grade object storage
● Kubernetes-based, customer-deployable
● Scaled-out, software-defined architecture
NOTE: This Dell product utilizes an embedded Linux distribution which is licensed to Dell. This embedded Linux is only
authorized to be used to operate the Dell product and only the Dell product.

New features in this release
Dell ObjectScale supports these features in this release.

ObjectScale Hardware Appliance

ObjectScale 1.3 supports deployment on the ObjectScale Appliance bundle on ObjectScale XF960 All Flash Array appliance. The
XF960 is a hardware stack which includes the server, switch, rack mount equipment and appropriate power cables; and that
is optimized to run the ObjectScale software. The XF960 initial offering supports a 24 drive configuration of 30TB QLC.drives.
The ObjectScale XF960 appliance installation must be carried out by qualified Dell Professional Services representatives. The
ObjectScale XF960 Hardware Installation Guide and ObjectScale 1.3 Administration Guide provide information.

Data access: Object Lock without versioning

While S3 Object Lock is limited to only versioning enabled buckets, ObjectScale Object Lock has been extended to support
versioning of suspended buckets. In these newly supported versioning states, overwrite and delete operations are prevented
when a locked null version exists for that object. All other behavior for Object Lock is consistent between the versioning states
and with standard S3 protocol behavior. To override the default behavior of enabling Object Lock causing versioning to also be
enabled, a new header ("x-emc-retain-versioning-state:true") must be passed. Note that suspending versioning on Object Lock
enabled buckets is no longer restricted and does not require special flags or permissions.

Data access: Support for larger multipart uploads (MPUs)

ObjectScale 1.3 supports MPUs for objects up to 50TiB in size and up to 50,000 parts. ObjectScale 1.3 significantly increases
efficiency, reduces timeouts, and reduces memory usage in MPU processing. The maximum size of replicated objects also
increases to 50TiB when both the source and destination are upgraded to ObjectScale 1.3.

Replication: Get replication failure reason

When ObjectScale Replication (OSR) fails, the system assigns an error code that describes the reason for the failure. Users
can see the error codes and reason descriptions in new alerts OBJST-12010 and OBJST-1602. An extension to the S3
DetailedReplicationStatus API also displays the failure code, failure reason, and replication destinations at the object
version level. API extensions also get replication failure counts classified by error code, at the account level and the bucket level.

Replication: Delete marker replication

In previous releases, the S3 delete marker in versioned buckets was not replicated. ObjectScale 1.3 allows you to configure
delete marker replication. It is disabled by default.

Security: Cryptography
ObjectScale 1.3 uses TLS 1.2 only. TLS 1.0 and 1.1 are disabled. ObjectScale 1.3 uses the Dell BSAFE 6.2.6 cryptographic library.
The obsolete CBC ciphers are disabled in ObjectScale 1.3.

Security: Update protobuf-java version

The protobuf-java component was changed to protobuf-java 3.x. In upgrade scenarios, this is a nondisruptive upgrade with no
user impact.

2
Security: Privileged Action Approval System (PAAS)
The privileged actions approval system (PAAS) is an ObjectScale workflow that requires an approval from a second
management user before high-risk management actions can occur. PAAS prevents a single management user from obtaining
root-like privileges and circumventing security controls. It relies on a separation of duties between requester users and approver
users. The two user types each have different roles assigned to them.

Security: Account protection mode

Account protection mode is a flag on an IAM account that protects the account from bad actors gaining access through a
management user account. When account protection mode is enabled on an account, certain account activities (overwrites and
deletes) require approval using the PAAS.

Security: Platform protection mode

Platform protection mode puts the ObjectScale system in a lockdown mode to protect platform configuration and infrastructure
from changes by a single bad actor. In platform protection mode, configuration changes require approvals using the PAAS.
Authorized users can obtain tokens that permit them to open a SSH shell. Otherwise, SSH sessions are not allowed.

Security: Active sessions

On the ObjectScale Portal user interface, administrators can view all active user sessions and select to close required active
sessions. The system closes and logs out the the selected sessions immediately. This feature includes Management User
sessions, Approver User sessions, and Authentication Provider user sessions. APIs also support user session lists and closures.

Link ObjectScale Hardware Appliance with Software Licensing

This release introduces ObjectScale Appliance Deployment. The ObjectScale Hardware Appliance must be linked to a software
license to get support entitlements. Customer creates an Activation File from the ObjectScale Portal user interface and
activates the License in Software Licensing Central. This activated license file is then uploaded through ObjectScale Portal user
interface to complete the linkage between ObjectScale Hardware Appliance and the Software License.

Hardware Alerts
Hardware Alerting for ObjectScale Appliance helps customers or services to engage proactively or reactively to resolve issues.
These alerts are displayed on the ObjectScale Portal user interface to enable customers or services to take timely action.
● The appliance generates unique and actionable event or error codes.
● Event or alert payload is delivered exactly as described in the Telemetry Spec v1.1.0 Payload
● Enable the end user to detect the failure and accurately call out the hardware component based on the error or event code.
● Can precisely point to a single failing hardware component (CRU/FRU), and replace it, and avoid multipart dispatch.

SNMP Alert Forwarding to External Customer Tools

Customers can access ObjectScale alerts and events through Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP), and can log
these externally to a centralized server. Customers can configure SNMP through the ObjectScale Portal user interface, and
through a REST API.

ObjectScale Stack Upgrades for ObjectScale Appliance and Software

Bundle
This release enables customers to upgrade ObjectScale version using ObjectScale Portal user interface or API. The estimated
time to complete the upgrade is visible in user interface, and an alert is triggered when the upgrade is completed.

3
Support for latest versions of OpenShift and Kubernetes
ObjectScale supports the latest version of Kubernetes (v1.26.x) and OpenShift (4.13). Customers can perform a platform
upgrade to the latest version.

User Interface Enhancements

This ObjectScale user interface enhancements in this release are:
● Timeframe Filters are available on the Objectscale and Object Store dashboards.
● The Objectscale Portal App app is split into Microfrontend applications so that future features can be developed without
disrupting existing user interace workflows with DEF Frameworks.
● Dell Design Wrapper implementation to align with Dell Design standards.
● Display notification for password change (days).
● Display the last login time of a user on the dashboard upon successful login.

Bucket Logging
Bucket Logging feature records all the requests going into a source bucket to a designated target bucket in a consistent format.
Customers can configure Bucket Logging from the ObjectScale Portal user interface or S3 API. The feature supports prefixes on
the generated log objects on the target bucket which is useful to distinguish between source buckets when multiple buckets log
to the same target bucket.

Performance Monitoring Improvements

Customers are able to collate and access all performance metrics from a new Performance Monitoring Dashboard on the
ObjectScale Portal user interface.

Storage Efficiency Improvements

Storage efficiency (space usage) is increased by improving space reclamation (garbage collection) processing, These changes
reduce the percentage of capacity that is consumed by garbage data and associated metadata. Customers can accurately
estimate capacity requirements based on actual data needs. For more information about automatic space reclamation, see the
"Object Stores" chapter in the Dell ObjectStore 1.3 Administration Guide.

ObjectScale Capacity License Tracked at Usable Capacity

ObjectScale Capacity License metering is based on usable capacity rather than raw capacity.

Node/Disk Operations through User Interface or API

Customers can perform the following Node/Disk operations through the ObjectScale Portal user interface or API:
● Enter node into maintenance mode.
● Exit node from maintenance mode.
● Add a node to the cluster.
● Remove a node from the cluster.
● Add a disk.
● Eject a disk.

Limitations
The following limitations exist in this release.

ObjectScale limitations
Functional Area Description
Sizer ObjectScale does not support parallel volume expansions of different object stores
simultaneously.

10
Functional Area Description

If you must expand multiple object stores, begin and complete the expansion of one object
store before beginning the expansion of the next object store.

Sizer Situations can arise that allows ObjectScale to attempt an object store creation or expansion
without sufficient Storage Capacity, Memory, and CPU resources.
Upgrade Earlier 1.0.x versions of ObjectScale cannot upgrade to this release of ObjectScale. Upgrade
from 1.2.x to 1.3.0 requires Dell Customer Service to perform the upgrade. Contact Dell
Support for assistance.

Installation details
Refer to the complete installation instructions in the Dell ObjectScale Software Bundle Installation Guide or Dell ObjectScale
Application Installation Guide for Red Hat OpenShift located alongside the software installation package.
NOTE: Prior to deploying ObjectScale, Red Hat OpenShift has reserved the memory it requires to manage kubernetes
(k8s), approximately 11GiB per worker node.

Before installing ObjectScale, ensure that there is enough available memory for ObjectScale to run. This calculation should
include ObjectScale Manager components (GUI, Installer, GraphQL, Operator), as well as one or more object stores.
