Using ObjectiveFS With Cleversafe/IBM Cloud Object Storage

Enterprise Plan Feature

This guide is for release 5.0 and newer.

ObjectiveFS supports on-premise S3-compatible object stores such as Ceph, Cleversafe, etc. This guide describes how to use ObjectiveFS with a Cleversafe object store.

What You Need

ObjectiveFS installed
Cleversafe object store with virtual host addressing enabled
Your Cleversafe user has the Vault Provisioner role assigned
NOTE: If your Cleversafe only uses https, see this guide

Steps

1. Configure your Cleversafe (one-time setup)

Assumptions:

Your Cleversafe is at cleversafe.example.com
Your Cleversafe’s S3 accessor is at http://s3.example.com

Set Cleversafe's S3 Virtual Host suffix to: *.s3.example.com

2. Configure your credentials (one-time setup)

# mount.objectivefs config
Enter ObjectiveFS license: <your ObjectiveFS license>
Enter Access Key Id: <your Cleversafe access key>
Enter Secret Access Key: <your Cleversafe secret key>
Enter Default Region (optional): http://s3.example.com

3. Create a new filesystem

# mount.objectivefs create <vault>

4. Mount filesystem

# mount.objectivefs <vault> <mount directory>

5. List your ObjectiveFS filesystems

# mount.objectivefs list

Tips

Replace all references of s3://<bucket name> in the user guide and documentation with <vault>.
