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

Use this command to view information on all the object stores configured to the WEKA system.

Using the GUI, only object store buckets are present. Adding an object store bucket only adds to the present local or remote object store. If more than one is present (such as during the time recovering from a remote snapshot), use the CLI.

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>] [--remove-bandwidth=<remove-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>]

When using the CLI, by default a misconfigured object store are not created. To create an object store even when it is misconfigured, use the --skip-verification option.

The max-concurrent settings are applied per WEKA compute process and the minimum setting of all object stores is applied.

When you create the object store bucket in AWS, to use the storage classes: S3 Intelligent-Tiering, S3 Standard-IA, S3 One Zone-IA, and S3 Glacier Instant Retrieval, do the following:

Create the bucket in S3 Standard.
Create an AWS lifecycle policy to transition objects to these storage classes.
Make the relevant changes and click Update to update the object store bucket.
