OpenStack Swift

Specifies that the data stored in the primary node is managed by OpenStack Swift. If you are using multiple OpenStack Swift servers, specify a configuration file. Only the name of the configuration file should be entered and not the relative or absolute path name. The maximum size of the configuration file name is 12. The name of the configuration file can be added to a new or existing storage node. It can also be removed or modified for existing storage nodes. The configuration file name is optional.

OpenStack Swift objects are organized into containers. The storage node name represents the name of the container. Even though the container name can be as long as 256 characters, it is limited to 60 characters to be consistent with other storage node names.

The Container name has the following naming requirements:    
  • Characters A-Z    
  • Characters a-z    
  • Numbers 0-9    
  • Hyphen (-)
