Can I mount a file share to a specific virtual server instance? 

Yes. You can specify an access control mode that either uses Security Groups to restrict mounting a file share to specific resources in the VPC or allows VPC-wide file share mounting. File share mount targets created before 13-June-2023 have a default of VPC-wide file share mounting. File shares created after that date can specify security group access control mode to restrict access to specific virtual server instances. For this option, file shares must be based on the [dp2 profile](https://cloud.ibm.com/docs/vpc?topic=vpc-file-storage-profiles&interface=uidp2-profile). For more information, see [Mount target access modes](https://cloud.ibm.com/docs/vpc?topic=vpc-file-storage-vpc-about&interface=uifs-mount-access-mode).







 Performance questions 



 What read/write latency can I expect? 

You can expect an average latency less than 100 ms for writes and less than 50 ms for reads for block sizes less than one MB.





 Can I adjust the performance of my file shares? 

Yes, you can increase or decrease IOPS for file shares based on an IOPS tier, custom, or dp2 profile. Adjusting IOPS depends on the file share size. Adjusting the IOPS causes no outage or lack of access to the storage. Pricing is adjusted with your selection. For more information, see [Adjusting file share IOPS](https://cloud.ibm.com/docs/vpc?topic=vpc-adjusting-share-iops&interface=ui).





 Can I change a file share profile? 

Yes, you can use the UI, CLI, or API to update a file share profile. You can change among IOPS tier profiles. When you select a custom profile or dp2 high-performance profile, you specify the maximum IOPS based on the file share size.

You cannot use the UI, CLI, or API to update multiple file shares in a single operation.

 Does IBM provide maintenance for the AIX, IBM i or Linux operating systems? 

No. It is the customer's responsibility to maintain, update, and manage the AIX, IBM i or Linux operating system.





 How does licensing work for the AIX, IBM i, or Linux operating systems? 

The license for the AIX and IBM i operating systems is part of the overall cost for the workspace. You cannot use an existing license that you already purchased. Refer to the AIX section to learn how to [create an AIX VM](https://cloud.ibm.com/docs/power-iaas?topic=power-iaas-create-vm).

You can use the movable IBM i (IBM i MOL) to move your existing on premises entitlements to Power Systems Virtual Server. Contact support to know more about the IBM i MOL, see [Getting help and support](https://cloud.ibm.com/docs/power-iaas?topic=power-iaas-getting-help-and-support).

Power Systems Virtual Server supports multiple levels of RHEL and SLES. You can either use IBM provided stock Linux images with IBM Full Linux Subscription or bring your own custom Linux image with vendor-provided subscription.

See the [various versions of OSs](https://cloud.ibm.com/docs/power-iaas?topic=power-iaas-power-iaas-faqsos-versions) that Power Systems Virtual Server supports.

  Informix Warehouse Accelerator 

Question: Is Informix Warehouse Accelerator (IWA) included? How can I use IWA?
You have the same privileges and can do the same actions within the product now that service-level access control is enabled.
* If you have a Reader or Writer service access role, then what you can do has changed.





 I'm a Reader 

With a Reader role, you cannot take any actions in the Watson Assistant application user interface. You can view only the assistants and skills pages. You cannot edit, create, or delete anything, and cannot view analytics.





 I'm a Writer 

With a Writer role, you can view, edit, create, and delete resources, such as assistants or skills. However, you cannot view analytics or user conversation log information. Only people with a Manager service access role can view the analytics page.

Act now to get the service instance owner to change your access level.



1. Contact the owner of the service instance.

The email address of the owner of the service instance is displayed in the User account menu. Click the User icon from the page header. ![user icon](https://cloud.ibm.com/docs-content/v1/content/417db917d18067d9dcc4cf2612564a9a87c3ddc8/assistant/images/user-icon.png)
2. Ask the owner of the service instance to change your service access role assignment.

You can copy, edit, and then paste the following text into an email or message that you send to the instance owner.

You are the owner of the {service instance name} {{site.data.keyword.conversationshort}} service instance.
I am currently a {role-you-have} of the instance.
Please change my service access role to {role-you-want}.
For instructions, see https://cloud.ibm.com/docs/assistant?topic=assistant-access-controlaccess-control-admin-prep.









 Prevent your collaborators from losing their access 

When you create a Watson Assistant service instance, you are assigned to a Manager service access role automatically. Your access has not changed.
Finally, IBM Cloud places you into a VRF to allow for the implementation of non-unique routes to the private address space of your remote network.





 If I order a direct link with local routing, is it possible to upgrade and switch to global routing later? 

Yes, you can change the routing option any time after creating the gateway. To do so, click Actions on the gateway's details page and then click Edit. This is not a disruptive change.





 How can I achieve redundancy with Direct Link? 

Direct Link does not provide an inherently redundant service. Direct Link can provide diverse connections that enable you to create redundancy using BGP. You can achieve diversity with Direct Link by connecting to more than one IBM Cloud Direct Link Dedicated service provider for IBM Cloud.





 What's the difference between the default local routing and global routing for Direct Link? 

The local routing option is the default routing option. If your Direct Link is connected at the local PoP, it provides access to all data centers within that same market. In some markets, local routing is applicable for stand-alone PoP locations and direct links that are terminated at the data center.

With our standard Direct Link offering, you can send traffic between the data centers in your selected region. If you need access to other data centers outside the specified region, you must use global routing. For example, you might use global routing to share workloads between dispersed IBM Cloud resources, such Dallas to Ashburn, or Dallas to Frankfurt.





 Why does global routing exist for Direct Link? 

Global routing prevents you from experiencing unexpected data costs when traversing outside of your data center's local market. It lowers costs, and, if you have a global presence, allows you to reach all regions easily. However, usually you require only a local bandwidth package.





 If I am connected to a Direct Link in a region, such as Dallas, can I access other regions in the US through Direct Link? 

Yes, you are able to gain access to areas outside of your local market if you choose global routing. If this option is not selected, your Direct Link traffic is limited to the local market for the PoP or data center location you selected.





 Can I connect to any available region from a given Direct Link location?

3. (Optional) Use the following command to check the status of crypto units to make sure all the current master key registers are in the VALID state:

ibmcloud tke cryptounit-compare

For the complete master key loading process, see [understanding the master key](https://cloud.ibm.com/docs/hs-crypto?topic=hs-crypto-introduce-serviceunderstand-key-ceremony).







 What's next 



* After you have a master key loaded to your service instance, you can rotate the master key on demand to meet industry standards and cryptographic best practices. For detailed instructions, see [Rotating master keys using recovery crypto units](https://cloud.ibm.com/docs/hs-crypto?topic=hs-crypto-rotate-master-key-cli-recovery-crypto-unit).
* Recovery crypto units contain a backup copy of the master key value that can be used to recover the master key. For the detailed instructions, see [Recovering a master key from a recovery crypto unit](https://cloud.ibm.com/docs/hs-crypto?topic=hs-crypto-recover-master-key-recovery-crypto-unit).
* For a complete TKE CLI plug-in command reference, see [IBM Cloud TKE CLI](https://cloud.ibm.com/docs/hs-crypto?topic=hs-crypto-cli-plugin-hpcs-cli-plugintke-cli-plugin).
This version supports IBM Cloud Pak for Data version 4.x and Red Hat OpenShift versions 4.6 and 4.8. For more information about installing and managing the service, see [Installing Watson Speech to Text](https://www.ibm.com/docs/en/cloud-paks/cp-data/4.0?topic=text-installing-watson-speech).

License Server now a mandatory prerequisite
: You must now install the License Server from the IBM Cloud Pak for Data foundational services. You must install the License Server by using the YAML content that is provided to create an OperandRequest with the necessary bindings. You must also install the License Service in the same namespace as the service (operand), which is also where IBM Cloud Pak for Data is installed. For more information, see [Installing Watson Speech to Text](https://www.ibm.com/docs/en/cloud-paks/cp-data/4.0?topic=text-installing-watson-speech).

New support for in-place upgrade
: The service now supports in-place, operator-based upgrade from version 4.0.0 to version 4.0.3. Moving from IBM Cloud Pak for Data version 3.5 to version 4.0.3 continues to require use of migration utilities. For more information, see [Upgrading Watson Speech to Text](https://www.ibm.com/docs/en/cloud-paks/cp-data/4.0?topic=text-upgrading-watson-speech).

EDB PostgreSQL operator and license installation changes
: Installation, upgrade, and uninstallation for the Enterprise DB PostgreSQL operator and license have changed:



* Instructions for installing the EDB PostgreSQL operator and license are now included with the IBM Cloud Pak for Data foundational services. The instructions for installing the Speech services have been updated accordingly. For more information, see [Installing Watson Speech to Text](https://www.ibm.com/docs/en/cloud-paks/cp-data/4.0?topic=text-installing-watson-speech).
After you define the smart contract private data collection, you need to install the smart contract on the peers that are members of the channel. When you instantiate the smart contract on the channel by using the console, you need to upload the collection configuration JSON file. For more information on how to [create a collection definition JSON file](https://hyperledger.github.io/fabric-sdk-node/release-1.4/tutorial-private-data.html) see the Fabric SDK documentation topic.

Instead of using the console to install and instantiate your smart contract with a collection config file, you can also use the Fabric SDK. Those instructions are also available under [How to use private data](https://hyperledger.github.io/fabric-sdk-node/release-1.4/tutorial-private-data.html) in the Node SDK documentation.

Note: A client needs to be an admin of your peer in order to install or instantiate a smart contract by using the SDK. Therefore, you need to download the certificates of the peer admin identity from your console wallet and pass the peer admin's signing certificate and private key to directly to the SDK instead of creating an application identity. For an example of how to pass a key pair to the SDK, see [Connecting to your network by using low-level Fabric SDK APIs](https://cloud.ibm.com/docs/blockchain?topic=blockchain-ibp-console-appibp-console-app-low-level).
3. Configure anchor peers. Because cross organizational [gossip](https://hyperledger-fabric.readthedocs.io/en/release-2.2/gossip.html) must be enabled for private data to work, an anchor peer must exist for each organization in the collection definition. Refer to this information for [how to configure anchor peers](https://cloud.ibm.com/docs/blockchain?topic=blockchain-ibp-console-governibp-console-govern-channels-anchor-peers) on your network.

 Installing Infrastructure management - the options 

Two options are available to install and deploy operands for Infrastructure management.



 Option 1.
Using the Veeam Agent 

The [Veeam Agent for Linux](https://www.veeam.com/linux-cloud-server-backup-agent.html) is supported on the Linux® operating systems. You can deploy the Veeam Agent on a virtual server instance for IBM Cloud® Virtual Private Cloud, including CentOS, RHEL, Ubuntu, and Debian for instance backups and restoration. Similarly, the [Veeam Agent for Windows](https://www.veeam.com/windows-cloud-server-backup-agent.html) is available for use on Windows instances for IBM Cloud VPC.

The Veeam Agent is not supported for LinuxONE (s390x processor architecture).

The following example provides information on installing, configuring, and using the Linux Agent on a virtual server instance that is provisioned with CentOS. Similar instructions apply to the other operating system types, although you need to replace any OS-specific commands. The example provides instructions on how to perform a volume backup and restore. If you prefer to do file and folder backup and restore operations, you use a similar procedure. The wanted restore point is mounted, and the wanted backup files are copied to the virtual server instance.

Full image-level (entire machine) backup and restore is not supported.



 Before you begin 



* Make sure that you order a [Veeam license](https://cloud.ibm.com/docs/vpc?topic=vpc-ordering-veeam-licenses).
* Provision and set up a CentOS virtual server instance for VPC (CentOS is used for this example).
* Make sure that your secondary volume is properly configured before you install the Veeam software on the instance. In the following example, it is expected that an ext3 file system exists on the secondary volume and mounted on /veeam_disk.







 Installing and configuring 

After you provisioned your instance and configured the secondary volume, [download the Veeam Agent for Linux](https://www.veeam.com/linux-backup-download.html) software installation package onto the instance.
