Enabling the Object Service on a Node

Prerequisites

• A storage pool has been created.
• This operation can be performed only when no node with the object service enabled exists in the storage pool. Otherwise, add nodes for the object service by referring to Adding a Node for an Enabled Service.

Procedure

1. Choose Resources > Resources > Services > Basic Service.
2. Click Enable Service.

   The Enable Service page is displayed.

3. Select the storage pool for which you want to enable the object service.
4. Select Add Service in Operation.
   

   This parameter is displayed only when at least one service is enabled on the nodes in the storage pool.

5. Select Object in Service Type.
6. Based on service requirements, select at least three nodes in the Available Nodes area on the left and they are added to the Selected Nodes area on the right.
   

   This operation is required only when the storage pool has not been enabled with any service. Otherwise, the system enables the object service for all nodes that have been enabled with another service.

7. Click OK.

   The Configure Object Service page is displayed.

8. In the Region Configuration area, configure region information.
   • Select the Multiple Clusters tab and click Yes in Default Cluster.
     1. In the Global Domain Name area, configure the domain name of the global region.
        

        • A domain name contains 3 to 253 characters, including lowercase letters, digits, and hyphens (-). A sub-domain name cannot start or end with a hyphen (-).
        • The domain name must contain a second-level domain name. Each sub-domain name contains 1 to 63 characters and is separated from each other using periods (.). The top-level domain name cannot contain digits only.
        • A maximum of eight domain names with no hierarchical relationship can be entered. Separate the domain names with semicolons (;).
     2. In the Region Configuration area, configure region information.
