In this section, you verify the configuration by running a REST API or CLI command from the controller node as the user that was created in Creating an initial user.

  1. Log in to the EC2 instance for a controller node.
  2. Change the password of the user created in the "ServiceAdministrators" user group, according to the procedure described in Creating an initial user. The parameters and values required to change the password are as follows:
    • userId: ID of the user created in the "ServiceAdministrators" user group

    • currentPassword: Password used when the user was created

    • newPassword: New password

    REST API: PATCH /v1/objects/users/<userId>/password

    CLI: user_password_set

  3. Obtain a list of event logs and verify that startup of the storage cluster is completed before confirming configuration.

    REST API: GET /v1/objects/event-logs

    CLI: event_log_list

    If the KARS08100-I message has been output to the event log, startup of the storage cluster is completed. Perform the following procedures to confirm each configuration.

  4. Obtain compute port information, and then verify the configuration. In the following steps, use the same credentials as in step 2.

    CAUTION:

    When building multiple VSP One SDS Block, also check the value of internalId.

    If the value of internalId is duplicated in any other VSP One SDS Block, perform the operation described in Removing the storage software in the VSP One SDS Block System Administrator Operation Guide. Then, perform the operation again from Configuring a storage cluster.

    (Multi-AZ configuration) The number is the same as that of storage nodes selected for ConfigurationPattern in step 11 of Configuring a storage cluster subtracted by the number of tiebreaker node.

    Value of status

    The status value is "Ready".

    Value of modelName

    • The value is the same as that of StorageNodeInstanceType set in step 11 of Configuring a storage cluster.
