This section describes the procedure for verifying the configuration by using a REST API/CLI to obtain a summary of storage cluster configuration information.

  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

    In the following steps, use the same credentials as in step 2.

  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 a summary of the storage cluster configuration information to verify the configuration.

    REST API: GET /v1/objects/storage-configuration-summary

    CLI: storage_configuration_summary_show

    Verify the obtained information to make sure of the following.

    Item

    Obtained information

    (Multi-AZ configuration) The number is the same as that of the storage nodes belonging to the fault domain.

    storageControllers

    status

    The status value is "Normal."

    storageNodes

    Number of storageNode objects

    (Single-AZ configuration) The number is the same as that of storage nodes selected for ConfigurationPattern in step 9 of Configuring a storage cluster.

    (Multi-AZ configuration) The number is the same as that of storage nodes selected for ConfigurationPattern in step 9 of Configuring a storage cluster subtracted by the number of tiebreaker node.

    status

    The status value is "Ready."

    modelName

    • The value is the same as that of StorageNodeInstanceType set in step 9 of Configuring a storage cluster.
    • (Multi-AZ configuration) r5.xlarge is set in tiebreaker node.

    storageNodeNetworkSettings

    gateway

    It is the value with 1 added to the fourth octet of the network address for the control network subnet set in step 9 of Configuring a storage cluster.

    interface

    The interface value is "eth0."

    controlPorts

    mtuSize

    The mtuSize value is "1500."

    internodePorts

    mtuSize

    The mtuSize value is "9000."

    status

    The status value is "Normal."

    subnetMask

    The number of bits of this value is the same as that of the net mask of the compute network subnet selected in step 9 of Configuring a storage cluster.

    mtuSize

    The mtuSize value is "9000."

    pools

    status

    The status value is "Normal."

    redundantType

    In HPEC 4D+2P: "4D+2P"

    In Mirroring Duplication: "Duplication"

    drives

    Number of drive objects

    The number is the same as the number of storage nodes selected for ConfigurationPattern in step 9 of Configuring a storage cluster times the number selected for DriveCount in step 9 of Configuring a storage cluster.

    statusSummary

    The statusSummary value is "Normal."

    1. 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 and SDS Cloud System Administration. Then, perform the operation again from Configuring a storage cluster.

    2. If you specified "NVMe/TCP" for computePortProtocol in step 9 of Configuring a storage cluster, the compute port protocol value that you obtain is "NVMe_TCP".
