IBM Cloud Object Storage

Edit online

You can configure the IBM Cloud Object Storage location by referring the information given in this topic.

Procedure

Follow the instructions below:
  1. Storage type – Select IBM Cloud Object Storage from the drop-down list.
  2. Bucket name – Enter the bucket name you wish to access.
    Note: The entered name must match an existing bucket. If no bucket is available, refer to Create some buckets to store your data to create one.
  3. Access key ID – Enter the corresponding access key ID to access the specified bucket.
  4. Secret access key – Enter the corresponding secret key ID to access the specified bucket.
  5. Endpoint – Enter the URL used to connect to the place where you want to store the data.
    Note: The URL must begin with http:// or https://.
  6. Extended parameters – Enter the following extended parameters if necessary. If you have multiple parameters to enter, use a semicolon (;) to separate the parameters. Refer to the instructions below to add parameters.
    • RetryInterval – Customize the retry interval when the network connection is interrupted. Enter any positive integer between 0 and 2147483646 (the unit is millisecond). For example, RetryInterval=30000 means that it will try to reconnect every 30000 milliseconds.

      If you do not configure this parameter, the value is 30000 milliseconds by default.

    • RetryCount – Customize the reconnection times after the network connection is interrupted. Enter any positive integer between 0 and 2147483646. For example, RetryCount=6 represents when the network connection is interrupted, and it can reconnect at most 6 times.

      If you do not configure this parameter, the value is 6 by default.

    • RetryMode – Customize the retry mode for the requests not being completed successfully. If this parameter is not configured or configured incorrectly, the Legacy will be applied as the default value. You can also set the value to Standard or Adaptive. Standard represents the standardized request retry strategy which is consistent across all SDKs; Adaptive represents an experimental request retry strategy that builds on the Standard strategy and introduces congestion control through client-side rate limiting.
  7. ClickSave to save your storage. The storage path cannot be changed once saved, and the storage profile cannot be deleted once the storage has been applied to store the backup data for a region.
