Configure DDVE manually

You can manually configure the DDVE if the configuration wizard was skipped or at any point after the initial configuration.

1. To add elicenses, save the license files to /ddr/var/license. Run the command elicense update license.lic.
   NOTE If a license file cannot be found in /ddr/var, you can paste its content directly to the console.

   # elicense update license.lic
   
   Existing licenses:

2. Set the system passphrase by running the command system passphrase set.

   # system passphrase set
   Enter new passphrase:
   Re-enter new passphrase:
   Passphrases matched.
   The passphrase is set.
   
3. Enable the object store using the command storage object-store enable

   # storage object-store enable
   Object-store is enabled.
   #
   

4. Select the authentication method. See Cloud storage authentication method.
   • If OAuth 2.0 authentication is selected, Using OAuth 2.0 (recommended) provides the steps to create the service account.
   • If HMAC authentication is selected, Get access and secret keys from GCP web console provides steps to get the access and secret keys.
5. Run the following command to create or modify the cloud profile: # storage object-store profile set.
   • If OAuth 2.0 authentication method is selected, enter the bucket name created in Create bucket in Google Cloud storage.
   • If HMAC authentication method is selected, enter the access and secret keys retrieved in the previous step. Enter the bucket name created in Create bucket in Google Cloud storage.
6. GCP needs the GlobalSign certificate to communicate with the object store. Import the certificate using the following command.
   Cloud profile configuration with OAuth 2.0 authentication:

   # storage object-store profile set
   Oauth is the recommended way of authentication to
   the object store. Do you want to choose oauth? (yes|no) [yes]: yes
   Enter the bucket name: app-bucket1
   
   Object-store endpoint needs the GlobalSign certificate to be imported.
   Do you want to import that certificate with below fingerprint?
   75:E0:AB:B6:13:85:12:27:1C:04:F8:5F:DD:DE:38:E4:B7:24:2E:FE  (yes|no) [yes]: yes

   Enter the secret key:
   Enter the bucket name: app-bucket1
   
   Object-store endpoint needs the GlobalSign certificate to be imported.
   Do you want to import that certificate with below fingerprint?
   75:E0:AB:B6:13:85:12:27:1C:04:F8:5F:DD:DE:38:E4:B7:24:2E:FE  (yes|no) [yes]: yes
