Buckets

Enable view-user-data

Instructions

  1. Select Users & Groups / Manage Users
  2. Ensure Users is selected in Group Name
  3. Click Search

Note

By Default in versions 8.x+, an admin or group admin cannot manage the buckets and objects of users within the CMC (admin can still manage S3 credentials of users, therefore utilizing an external S3 client will allow admins to manage user objects)
Notice under ACTIONS, there is no view user data option.
Lets change the config to allow this function. We need to do this explicitly for System Administrators, Group Administrators or both.

Configuration Change using HSH

Instructions

  1. Log-in to your Config Controller Node (node1) using SSH as sa_admin user and CMC admin password
  2. We will get a menu asking us to start a new session, or a sessionless shell. Select either.

Instructions

  1. We now need to modify the configuration setting to allow the System Administrators or Group Administrators access to Users data.
  2. We will grant access to System Administrators in this case. We need to run the following config command. 
    hsctl config set cmc.ui.admin.manageUsers.view.objectDataGrantees=SystemAdmin
  3. Next we need to push the new config setting to the other nodes in the cluster. 
    hsctl config apply cmc
  4. Finally we need to restart the cmc to allow the changes to populate the User Interface 
    hsctl service restart cmc --nodes=ALL

Info

Note that --nodes= is followed by ALL in capitals. Using lowercase all will cause the command to fail

Create Bucket

Warning

Some application buckets require a unique Storage Policy to be assigned to them, for instance Veeam. Be aware of the application requirements so you can ensure your bucket/storage policy configuration is correct.

Instructions

  1. Select Users & Groups then Manage Users
  2. Ensure Users is selected in Group Name
  3. Click Search
    You can now see the View User data under Actions
    Click View User Data to create a new bucket for the user.

Instructions

  1. Type “myrf3bucket” in Bucket Name
  2. Select SRF3 Storage Policy
  3. Click Create

Notice that you cannot enable Object Lock on this bucket. The reason is shown if you hover over the Disable button.

Warning

You can only enable Object Lock on a bucket at creation, should you require this feature on a specific bucket, the system must be configured to enable this prior to creating the bucket. You cannot enable Object Lock on an existing bucket.

Upload Data to Bucket

Instructions

  1. Logout from the Admin user
  2. Login as the User you created in Chapter 2
  3. Ensure Buckets and Objects Selected
  4. Click Objects Tab
  5. Select “myrf3bucket”
  6. Click Upload File
  7. Click + Add files
  8. Choose 5K and 50K Files from the course materials
  9. Click Start Upload
  10. Ensure Upload completes successfully

Instructions

  1. Remaining in the CMC, confirm that both 50k and 5k are represented with a large padlock before the name. This confirms the object has been encrypted
  2. Logout of the User session

Locate Object

Instructions

  1. Login as Admin User
  2. Select Analytics Tab
  3. Select Object Locator Sub-Tab
  4. Type “myrf3bucket” in Bucket Name
  5. Type 5k in Object Name
  6. Click Find
  7. Validate Type as “REPLICAS”
  8. Validate that there are 3 Separate Replicas

Instructions

  1. Type 50k in Object Name
  2. Click Find
  3. Validate Type as “REPLICAS”
  4. Validate that there are 3 Separate Replicas

Info

Note that currently the object locator does not support wildcard as entries. You must put in exact Bucket / Object names.
