In my previous blog post I showed how to deploy EMC ViPR data service for object storage. This blog will focus on configuring object service in ViPR. ViPR object service use file services that have been setup within ViPR. Previous blog posts show how to setup EMC Isilon Virtual arrays, Virtual Pools, and Projects. We will use those same setting for object services.
|
On the web client, under Data Services-> setup select the IP network to use. Use the same network that you have previously assigned to your file services. |
|
|
Click Virtual Pools. Click Add |
|
|
Create an Object Virtual pool. Click Save |
|
|
Click Data Stores. Click Add |
|
|
Give the data store a name. Select a File virtual storage pool that you have previously created (HERE). Select the Virtual pool setup in the last step. Click Save |
|
|
The data store is created. Notice the mount point. You can verify its creation on your Isilon array using putty or file system explore. All objects placed on the object store (S3 or Swift) will go into this directory. |
|
|
Create a tenant. Chose the virtual pool previously setup. Next either create a new project, or use a pre-configured project (HERE). Click Save |
|
|
Object services are now available as API’s to S3 or Swift clients. My next blog will show how to use Openstack Glance to access the ViPR Swift object services. |
