Create New Buckets in BucketFS Service

Prerequisites

You must have a BucketFS service configured. For more information, see Create New BucketFS Service.

Procedure

This procedure is carried out using ConfD. For more information, see ConfD.

The following examples are written in Bash on a Linux terminal and use the tool confd_client, which is accessed by connecting to EXAClusterOS on the database nodes. You can also interact with ConfD using Python and XML-RPC. For more information, see ConfD.

Placeholder values are normally indicated with UPPERCASE characters. Replace the placeholders with your own values.

To create the bucket in your BucketFS service, use the ConfD job bucket_add. For example:

confd_client -c bucket_add -a '{bucket_name: BUCKET_NAME, bucketfs_name: BUCKETFS_NAME, public: False, read_password: READPW, write_password: WRITEPW}'

Verification

You can verify that the bucket was created successfully by viewing the information for the BucketFS service holding the bucket using the ConfD job bucketfs_info:

confd_client -c bucketfs_info -a 'bucketfs_name: BUCKETFS_NAME'

Next Steps

Once you have the BucketFS service and new buckets within this service created, view the Access Files in BucketFS section to know how to access the buckets.
