Verifying that asset, capacity, and configuration metadata can be collected for object storage

To collect asset, capacity, and configuration metadata for object storage, the server that hosts the data collector must be able to connect to the OpenStack Swift and Keystone endpoints that are used to access object services.

Procedure

To verify that the server can access the object services, complete these steps:

  1. List the URLs for the Keystone and Swift services by running commands on a IBM Storage Scale System cluster node that is configured for object storage. Run the following commands with a user name that has root privileges: 
    . ~/openrc
openstack endpoint list
  2. Ensure that the server that hosts the data collector can connect to the IP addresses and host names that are included in the Keystone and Swift services URLs.
    For example, the URL for the Keystone service might be http://gpfs420proto1:5000/v3. The server that hosts the data collector must be able to connect to the gpfs420proto1 host name.
