Managing Scality RING - LAN using msdpcldutil tool

MSDP cloud admin tool /usr/openv/pdde/pdcr/bin/msdpcldutil is used to manage cloud immutable volume.

Before using this tool, set the following environment variables:

export MSDPC_ACCESS_KEY=scalitylan-access-key 
export MSDPC_SECRET_KEY=scalitylan-secret-key
export MSDPC_REGION=us-east-1 
export MSDPC_PROVIDER=scalitylan 
export MSDPC_ENDPOINT=scalitylan.hostname

To create the immutable storage and configure it

  1. Create a cloud immutable volume.
    • #/usr/openv/pdde/pdcr/bin/msdpcldutil create -b bucketname -v volumename --mode COMPLIANCE --min 1D --max 30D --live 2021-12-31

    • #/usr/openv/pdde/pdcr/bin/msdpcldutil create -b bucketname -v volumename --mode GOVERNANCE --min 1D --max 30D --live 2022-12-31

  2. List the cloud volumes.

    #/usr/openv/pdde/pdcr/bin/msdpcldutil list

  3. Update the cloud immutable volume minimum and maximum retention period.
    • #/usr/openv/pdde/pdcr/bin/msdpcldutil update range -b bucketname -v volumename --min 1D --max 90D

    • # /usr/openv/netbackup/bin/admincmd/nbdevconfig -updatedv - stype PureDisk -dp disk_pool_name -dv volumename

  4. Update the cloud immutable volume live duration.

    #/usr/openv/pdde/pdcr/bin/msdpcldutil update live -b bucketname -v volumename -l 2022-01-31

  5. Update the cloud immutable storage volume mode.

    ##/usr/openv/pdde/pdcr/bin/msdpcldutil update mode -b bucketname -v volumename --mode COMPLIANCE --live 2022-12-31 --inherit enable

  6. List cloud immutable storage cloud providers.

    #/usr/openv/pdde/pdcr/bin/msdpcldutil platform list
