Creating a second account on Cloudian fails by selecting an existing region
Explanation:
After adding a Cloud object storage account for Cloudian by adding a region with the us-east-1 location constraint, if you try to reuse the same region and create a second account, account creation fails.
This happens because the region listing API is converting the region's location constraint 'us-east-1' to ''<blank> while showing in the web UI. You can see the added region location constraint was us-east-1 and the one that is listed has a blank location constraint field. Account created by selecting such a region from the list fails.
Workaround:
Use the NetBackup Asset Query APIs to create an account. The region details part can be provided in the payload:
"s3RegionDetails": [
{ "regionId": "us-east-1",
"regionName": "<region name same as listed from prior account>",
"serviceHost": "<service host same as listed from prior account>"
}
]You can obtain API DOC from the schema API:
