Configure Object Storage as OnVault Storage

To use Object Storage as OnVault storage, either to offload copies of data directly to a cheaper tier or for long-term retention, you first need to attach Object Storage to each Sky Appliance.

The following process provides a high-level overview.

1. In the AGM UI, go to the Domain Manager and select the Sky Appliance on which you want to configure the Object Storage.
2. Click Configure Appliance. A new tab opens in the browser, pointing to Sky Appliance IP address directly.
3. In the Storage Pools section, click the OnVault tab in the upper-right corner and then click the green plus sign + to add an OnVault Pool.
4. In the Add New OnVault Pool dialog box, enter the following values.
   1. Enter a user-friendly pool name to identify the Object Storage bucket in AGM.
   2. Select Cloud – Oracle from the Pool Type menu.
   3. Provide the access key and secret key values that you generated in the “Use Object Storage for OnVault Storage” section.
   4. Enter the namespace and the exact name of the bucket.
   5. Select the Oracle Cloud Infrastructure region of the bucket.
5. Click Save. Object Storage is successfully added as an OnVault Pool.

Repeat these steps to add the Object Storage bucket on the other Sky Appliance as an OnVault Pool, as required.
