The object API service enables an appliance to save data as storage objects into the Oracle ZFS filesystem using the HTTP protocol and through either the OpenStack Object Storage (Swift) API or the Amazon S3 (Simple Storage Service) API.
After enabling and configuring the object API service, enable the feature on individual filesystems by going to Shares > Filesystems. Double-click on a filesystem to view its details, and then select the Protocols tab. In the HTTP section, and for the Object store mode option, select Read/write to enable the feature for the filesystem.
To enable an object API service, go to Configuration > Services > HTTP and select either Swift or S3. Then, accordingly, select the check box for Enable Swift or Enable S3 and complete the properties using the descriptions in HTTP Properties and Logs. Finish by clicking APPLY.
Once the object API service is enabled, you can configure it with the object API properties, as shown in HTTP Properties and Logs.
If the OpenStack Identity Service option was selected when you applied your changes for the HTTP service, a test connection is made to the specified server with the provided properties information. If the connection fails, a dialog box opens, and you can either apply or cancel all changes to the HTTP service.
