PowerScale OneFS 9.7.0.0 CloudPools Administration Guide

PDF

Create a CloudPool (CLI)

You can create a CloudPool and add a cloud storage account.

About this task

A CloudPool is the mechanism that connects a cloud storage account to OneFS. When you create a CloudPool, OneFS enforces two requirements:

  • The CloudPool may service only one cloud storage account.
  • The cloud storage account must be of the same type as the CloudPool. For example, an Azure CloudPool may only service an Azure cloud storage account.

Steps

Run the isi cloud pools create command.
Provide the following parameters in the command:
  • A unique name
  • The CloudPool type—The values are: isilon (for Dell EMC PowerScale), ecs, azure, s3, c2s-s3, google, or alibaba-cloud
  • A cloud account name
The following command creates an Azure-based CloudPool named cp_az, using the Azure account named csa_azure1: 
isi cloud pools create cp_az azure csa_azure1 --vendor Microsoft

Results

The following example shows how to view the result of this operation. Use the ID (name) of the CloudPool in the command. 
isi cloud pools view cp_az

The output displays the CloudPool ID, name, type, and other properties.
