Creating Ceph Object Gateway buckets

Edit online

Use the dashboard to create Ceph Object Gateway buckets on the IBM Storage Ceph once the credentials are set-up using the CLI.

Before you begin

Before you begin, make sure that you have the following prerequisites in place:
  • A running IBM Storage Ceph cluster.
  • Dashboard is installed.
  • The Ceph Object Gateway is installed.
  • Ceph Object Gateway login credentials are added to the dashboard.
  • Ceph Object Gateway user is created and not suspended.

Procedure

  1. Log in to the Dashboard.
  2. On the navigation bar, click Object Gateway.
  3. Go to Buckets > Create.
  4. Complete the Create Bucket form.window, enter a value for Name and select a user that is not suspended.
    • Name: Enter a name for the bucket.
    • Owner: Select a user that is not suspended.
    • Placement target: Select a placement target.
      Important: A bucket’s placement target is selected on creation and can not be modified.
  5. Optional: Select Enable to enable locking for the objects in the bucket.
    Locking can only be enabled while creating a bucket. Once locking is enabled, you also have to choose the lock mode, Compliance or Governance and the lock retention period in either days or years, not both.
  6. Click Create Bucket.
    A notification is emitted showing that the bucket was created successfully.
