Enabling multi-region object deployment initially

For multi-region object deployment, each region is a separate cluster and on each cluster IBM Storage Scale for object storage is installed independently by using the installer.

In a single cluster, the installer completely installs the object protocol on all the nodes within that cluster. However, in a multi-region object deployment environment, each cluster is installed independently and the object protocol on the independent clusters is linked together.

To set up an initial multi-region environment, run the following command on the first cluster after it is installed:

mmobj multiregion enable

You can add a region to a multi-region deployment environment. For more information, see Adding a region in a multi-region object deployment.
