Mixed operation
After the service vault is created, the Cloud Object Storage Manager changes in two distinct ways.
- Allows standard vaults to be converted to container vaults.
- Allows the creation of container vaults in the system.
New user-created vaults can be standard vaults or container vaults. The one exception to this is
that a vault that is created on a storage pool that uses file storage or containing mirrors, must be
a standard vault. In other cases, both types of vaults can be created. In these situations, when you
create a new vault, the type of vault (standard or container) must be selected. The configuration
options on the vault creation page differ if the vault is a container vault versus a standard vault.
Standard vaults show these parameters; they cannot be set for container vaults:
- Name index.
- Recovery listing.
- Versioning.
- Delete restriction.
- Authorized users.
If you create a standard vault now, with the desire to convert it into a container vault in the future, take special care when you select any of these options. See the conversion compatibility requirements.
Accounts cannot be given direct access to a container vault in the Cloud Object Storage Manager. It is handled only at the container level. For more information, see the Service API Manual.
