The proxy server takes each request for an object and looks up locations for the account, container, or object, and routes the requests correctly. The proxy server also handles API requests.

Procedure

  1. If you are logged out, log back in to the Object Storage service.
    1. Using SSH, log in to the VMware Integrated OpenStack manager.
    2. From the VMware Integrated OpenStack manager, use SSH to log in to the controller01 node.
    3. Switch to root user. 
      sudo su -
  2. Create the /etc/swift/proxy-server.conf file.

    Enter the internal VIP in the commands.

    Configure the bind_port parameter according to your deployment mode.

    • For full deployments, set the bind_port parameter to 8080.

    • For compact mode deployments, set the bind_port parameter to a value within the defined local port range of the host.
