Managing object storage
Use the following information to use and manage the IBM Spectrum Scale™ for object storage features.
- Understanding and managing Object services
Use the following information to manage services related to IBM Spectrum Scale for object storage. - Understanding the mapping of OpenStack commands to IBM Spectrum Scale administrator commands
Use this information to map OpenStack commands to IBM Spectrum Scale administrator commands. - Changing Object configuration values
Use the following information to change the Object configuration values in the Cluster Configuration Repository (CCR). - Changing the object base configuration to enable S3 API
IBM Spectrum Scale uses Swift3 Middleware for OpenStack Swift, allowing access to IBM Spectrum Scale using Amazon Simple Storage Service (S3) API. - Configuring OpenStack EC2 credentials
The credentials that are used on the Amazon S3 and Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2) APIs are different from the credentials that are used by the OpenStack API. As a result, you must generate these special credentials to use them when accessing the IBM Spectrum Scale OpenStack services. - Managing OpenStack access control lists using S3 API
The following topic lists the permissions and the known limitations of S3 API. - Managing object capabilities
You can manage the object capabilities using the following commands. - Managing object versioning
See the following topics to enable and disable object versioning. - Mapping of storage policies to filesets
For every storage policy created using the mmobj policy create command, one fileset is created or reused. - Administering storage policies for object storage
Use the following information to create, list, and change storage policies for object storage. - Adding a region in a multi-region object deployment
Perform the following steps to add a region in a multi-region object deployment environment. - Administering a multi-region object deployment environment
Use the following information to administer a multi-region object deployment environment. - Unified file and object access in IBM Spectrum Scale
Unified file and object access allows use cases where you can access data using object as well as file interfaces. Use the following information to manage unified file and object access including identity management modes for unified file and object access, authentication for unified file and object access, and objectization service schedule. - Configuration files for IBM Spectrum Scale for object storage
Use the following information to manage options in configuration files that are used for IBM Spectrum Scale for object storage including the unified file and object access feature. These configuration files are located in the /etc/swift directory. - Backing up and restoring object storage
Snapshots are a good way to protect data from various errors and failures. Moving them to a separate backup storage system can provide better protection against catastrophic failures of the entire storage system and might even allow the data to be stored at a lower cost. This section describes the manual steps that are needed to back up and restore the object storage and its configuration information. - Configuration of object for isolated node and network groups
You can configure object for isolated node and network groups. - Enabling the object heatmap policy
Use this procedure to enable the object heatmap policy.
