In WEKA NeuralMesh, Object stores can be used to extend the SSD performance tier with a cost-efficient capacity tier. This article details the steps to configure a Wasabi bucket as an object store.
Requirements
WEKA cluster version 4.4.35 or higher
Data Protection Option (DPO) license
An active Wasabi account
Access & Secret Key Pair (see 3—Creating a User Account and Access Key)
Wasabi bucket (see 2—Working With Buckets and Objects)
Configuration
Log in to the WEKA dashboard.
Navigate to Manage.
Select Object Stores.
In the Object Store Buckets section, click + Create.
In the Create Object Store Bucket dialog box, provide the following details.
Name—Provide a name for the object store bucket.
Object Store—Select default-local to create a bucket for tiering and snapshots, select default-remote to access read-only snapshots.
Type—Select OTHER.
Protocol—HTTPS_UNVERIFIED.
Hostname—Provide the Wasabi endpoint URL of the region where the bucket is located.
Port—443.
Bucket—Provide the name of the Wasabi bucket.
Auth Method—Select AWSSignature4.
Region—Provide the region of the Wasabi bucket.
Access Key—Provide your Wasabi access key.
Secret Key—Provide your Wasabi secret key.
Click Validate to verify the connectivity to the Wasabi bucket.
Click Create.
This configuration example uses Wasabi’s us-east-1 storage region. To use another Wasabi storage region, use the appropriate URL as described in Service URLs for Wasabi's Storage Regions.
The object store buckets page displays the newly created buckets.
