Manage the S3 service using the GUI
This page describes how to set up, update, monitor, and delete an S3 cluster using the GUI.
Using the GUI, you can:
Create an S3 cluster
An S3 cluster configuration includes a filesystem, port, and list of servers.
Procedure
From the menu, select Manage > Protocols.
From the Protocols pane, select S3.
On the Configuration tab, select Configure.
In the S3 Cluster Configuration dialog, set the following properties:
Filesystem: The filesystem to use for the S3 service. By default, when adding a bucket, it will be created in this filesystem.
Port: Default 9000. If required, modify the port through which the cluster exposes the S3 service. Do not set port 9001.
Anonymous Posix UID: If required, modify the Posix UID assigned to anonymous users.
Anonymous Posix GID: If required, modify the Posix GID assigned to anonymous users.
All servers: To use all available servers for the S3 configuration, switch on All servers. If new servers are deployed later, they do not participate in the S3 cluster automatically. To use specific servers, switch off All servers, and select the available servers from the list to participate in the S3 cluster.
Virtual-hosted-style Domains: Virtual-hosted-style domains enable addressing the S3 bucket in a REST API request using the HTTP host header. The bucket name is part of the domain name in the URL. For the domain name, use DNS-compatible values. You can add a list of domains with a total of 1024 characters.
In the Config Filesystem, select the filesystem used for persisting S3 cluster-wide configuration.
Select Save.
Once the system completes the configuration process, the server statuses change from not ready (red X icon) to ready (green V icon).
Update an S3 cluster configuration
You can update the port and the servers to participate in the S3 cluster.
Procedure
From the menu, select Manage > Protocols.
From the Protocols pane, select S3.
On the Configuration tab, select the pencil icon next to the S3 cluster configuration.
4. Update the port and host properties as required. Do not set port 9001.
5. Select Save.
Delete an S3 cluster configuration
Deleting an existing S3 cluster managed by the WEKA system does not delete the backend WEKA filesystem but removes the S3 bucket exposures of these filesystems.
Procedure
From the menu, select Manage > Protocols.
From the Protocols pane, select S3.
On the Configuration tab, select the trash icon next to the S3 cluster configuration.
4. In the S3 Configuration Reset message, select Reset.
