PowerScale OneFS 9.3.0.0 CLI Administration Guide

Access files through the RESTful Access to Namespace (RAN) in non-System zones

You can access data on the OneFS file system through RAN.

1. To access a file, you must make an HTTP call to /namespace/<path>.

   curl -u user:password -k https://cluster.ip.addr:8080/namespace/ifs/data/file.txt
   

2. When accessing files through a non-System zone, the path name must be within the base path of the access zone through which you are accessing the data.
   For example, if IP address 1.2.3.4 is in zone2, which has a base path of /ifs/data/zone2, and then the following error is displayed:

   NOTE: The user: password must be a valid user and password in access zone, zone2 in order to access RAN through zone2.

   # curl -u user:password -k 'https://1.2.3.4:8080/namespace/ifs/data/other-zone'
