Setting Object Access server default parameters
You can set the Object Access server configurable and default file system parameters. The object access server creates a new file system for every new bucket. Use these default parameters to create a new file system of a different configuration.
To edit the default object server parameters
- Prerequisites:
Configure at least one default storage pool.
- In Settings > S3 Management for Default parameters, click Edit.
- You can edit the following fields:
File system size
Use the file system size option to set the default file system for creating the buckets.
Units can be MB, GB, or TB.
Block size
The default block size is 8192 bytes.
Block size can affect the file size. For example, to create a file system greater than 32 TB, the block size needs to be 8192.
Enable Partition Directory
The partition directory feature distributes entries into hash directories. The hash directories are not visible in the name space view of the user or the operating system.
By default, partition directory is disabled.
Number of mirrors
For layouts that use mirroring, the minimum number of mirrors is 2 (the default).
Protection Disk
For layouts that use mirroring, the protection option determines where the mirrors are created.
Disk (default) - creates mirrors on separate disks
Pool - creates mirrors in separate pools.
Set default pools
The pools option lets you choose the pool on which the bucket is created.
You must specify at least one default storage pool.
Enable SSL
It is recommended to enable SSL for S3.
SSL enables HTTPS communication.
