Enabling instant access with object storage

Enable instant access with object storage

  1. Add instant-access-object-store = 1 into the /etc/msdp-release file.

    Example:

    /etc/msdp-release
     instant-access-object-store = 1
    
  2. Verify that the capability IA_OBJECT_STORE is in the extendedcapabilities.

    nbdevconfig -getconfig -stype PureDisk -storage_server <your_storage_server_name> |grep IA_OBJECT_STORE

  3. On the media server or the primary server, run the following commands to reload the storage server attributes:
    nbdevconfig -getconfig -stype PureDisk 
    -storage_server <your_storage_server_name> > /tmp/flags
    nbdevconfig -setconfig -stype PureDisk 
    -storage_server <your_storage_server_name> -configlist /tmp/flags
    
  4. Add universal-share-object-store = 1 and instant-access-object-store = 1 to /etc/msdp-release to enable object store for universal share and instant access.
