PowerScale OneFS 9.2.1.0 CloudPools Administration Guide

Create a cloud storage account (CLI)

You create cloud storage accounts to enable CloudPools to archive files to cloud storage. The account username, password, and URI that you used to establish an account with your cloud provider is required. You can also specify a proxy server to redirect CloudPools archive and retrieval traffic to and from a public cloud provider.

1. If you are creating an account for Amazon C2S S3 accounts, complete the following steps before creating the account, otherwise continue to step 2.
   1. Import the CA certificate.

      isi certificate authority import <certificate-path>
              [--name certificate_name]
              [--description  certificate_description]

   2. Import the CAP Client Certificate and Private Key.

      isi cloud certificates import <certificate-path> <certificate-key-path>
              [--name certificate_name]
              [--certificate-key-password <enter certificate password string>]

2. Run the isi cloud accounts create command.
   The following command creates a Microsoft Azure cloud storage account.

   NOTE This type of account requires a key from the cloud provider.

   isi cloud accounts create --name=c-acct1 --type=azure 
   --uri=https://admin2.blob.core.windows.net --account-username=adm1 
   --key=!$P@$$c0de998==

   The following command creates the same account, while specifying a proxy server.

   isi cloud accounts create --name=c-acct1 --type=azure 
   --uri=https://admin2.blob.core.windows.net --account-username=adm1 
   --key=!$P@$$c0de998== --proxy myproxy1 

   The following command creates an Amazon C2S S3 account.

   isi cloud accounts create --name=C2S3
    --credential-provider-uri=<your-info>
    --credential-provider-agency=<your-info> 
    --credential-provider-certificate=<your-info> 
    --credential-provider-mission=<your-info>
    --credential-provider-proxy=<your-info> 
    --credential-provider-role=<your-info>
