How to Configure an Object Storage Node

Language:

Repeat this procedure on each object Storage node you want to set up.

Install the Swift packages.

storage-node # pkg install swift swiftclient

Create ZFS datasets.

storage-node # /usr/sbin/zfs create -o mountpoint=none rpool/export/swift
storage-node # /usr/sbin/zfs create -o mountpoint=/srv rpool/export/swift/srv
storage-node # /usr/sbin/zfs create -p rpool/export/swift/srv/node/disk0
storage-node # /usr/bin/chown -R swift:swift /srv

Copy files from the proxy server node as follows:
1. Copy the /etc/swift/swift.conf file from the proxy server node to current node's /etc/swift directory.
2. Copy the following files from the proxy server node to the current node's /etc/swift directory.
  - account.ring.gz
  - container.ring.gz
  - object.ring.gz

Enable the Swift replicator service.

storage-node # svcadm enable swift-replicator-rsync

Set the ownership of the current node's /etc/swift directory.
```
storage-node # chown -R swift:swift /etc/swift
```

Enable all the Swift services.

storage-node # for x in `svcs -a -o SVC | fgrep swift |  \
   egrep "account|container|object" | sort` \
      do \
           echo Starting $x \
           svcadm enable $x \
      done

On the Controller node, enable users to access and operate the Swift services.

Set global shell variables for Swift.

controller# export OS_USERNAME=swift
controller# export OS_PASSWORD=service-password
controller# export OS_TENANT_NAME=service
controller# export OS_AUTH_URL=http://$CONTROLLER_ADMIN_NODE:5000/v2.0

Add the Keystone swiftoperator role.

controller# keystone role-create --name swiftoperator

Assign the swiftoperator role to authorized users of the Swift services.

controller# keystone user-role-add --user user-name \
    --role swiftoperator --tenant tenant-id
