Set Up the Object Storage Environment

Before you can configure the Object Storage service for deployment, you must set up its environment to run OpenStack commands.

Procedure

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 -

4. Run the respective cloudadmin file.

   • For VMware Integrated OpenStack 3.0, run the cloudadmin_v3.rc file.

     source cloudadmin_v3.rc

   • For VMware Integrated OpenStack 3.1 and later, run the cloudadmin.rc file.

     source cloudadmin.rc

5. Configure the controller01 node to use the administrative password.

   export OS_PASSWORD=ADMIN_PASSWORD

What to do next

You can now create the service user, the service, and the endpoint. See Create the Object Storage User, Service, and End Point.
