Configuring lifecycle expiration window

You can set the time that the lifecycle management process runs each day by setting the rgw_lifecycle_work_time parameter. By default, lifecycle processing occurs once per day, at midnight.

Prerequisites

  • A running IBM Storage Ceph cluster.

  • A Ceph Object Gateway node.

  • Installation of the Ceph Object Gateway.

  • Root-level access to a Ceph Object Gateway node.

Procedure

  1. Log into the cephadm shell:

    Example 

    [root@host01 ~]# cephadm shell

  2. Set the lifecycle expiration time:

    Syntax 

    ceph config set client.rgw rgw_lifecycle_work_time %D:%D-%D:%D

    Replace %d:%d-%d:%d with start_hour:start_minute-end_hour:end_minute.

    Example 

    [ceph: root@host01 /]# ceph config set client.rgw rgw_lifecycle_work_time 06:00-08:00

Verification

  • Retrieve the lifecycle expiration work time:

    Example 

    [ceph: root@host01 /]# ceph config get client.rgw rgw_lifecycle_work_time

06:00-08:00
