Manage object stores using the CLI

This page describes how to view and manage object stores using the CLI.

Using the CLI, you can perform the following actions:

View object stores

Command: weka fs tier obs

This command is used to view information on all the object stores configured to the Weka system.

Note: Using the GUI only object-store buckets are present. Adding an object-store bucket will add it to the only local or remote object-store present. If more than one is present (such as during the time recovering from a remote snapshot), the CLI should be used.

Edit an object store

Command: weka fs tier obs update

Use the following command line to edit an object store:

weka fs tier obs update <name> [--new-name new-name] [--site site] [--hostname=<hostname>] [--port=<port>] [--auth-method=<auth-method>] [--region=<region>] [--access-key-id=<access-key-id>] [--secret-key=<secret-key>] [--protocol=<protocol>] [--bandwidth=<bandwidth>] [--download-bandwidth=<download-bandwidth>] [--upload-bandwidth=<upload-bandwidth>] [--max-concurrent-downloads=<max-concurrent-downloads>] [--max-concurrent-uploads=<max-concurrent-uploads>] [--max-concurrent-removals=<max-concurrent-removals>] [--enable-upload-tags=<enable-upload-tags>]
