Adding a Region

Prerequisites

You can add a non-default region only to the default object cluster in the default region.

Context

Procedure

1. Choose Settings > Object Service Settings > Global Namespace.
2. Click Add Region.

   The Add Region page is displayed on the right.

3. Configure region parameters. Table 1 describes related parameters.

   Domain Name	Indicates the domain name of the region. [Value range] A domain name contains 3 to 253 characters, including lowercase letters, digits, and hyphens (-).
