This section describes the procedure for verifying the configuration by using a REST API/CLI to obtain respective component information.

  1. Log in to the 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

    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.

    CAUTION:

    Event log KARS10965-W might be output. In such a case, take action according to Action to be taken when resource deletion locking is not correctly set (Cloud for Microsoft Azure) in the VSP One SDS Block and SDS Cloud Troubleshooting Reference.

    The number is the same as the number of storage nodes set for numberOfNodes in step 6 of Configuring a storage cluster multiplied by numberOfDrives.

    Value of statusSummary

    The statusSummary value is "Normal."

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

    (Multi-AZ configuration) The number is equal to the number of storage nodes set for numberOfNodes in step 6 of Configuring a storage cluster plus the number of tiebreaker nodes.

    Value of status

    The status value is "Ready."

    Value of modelName

    The value is the same as that of storageNodeVmSize set in step 6 of Configuring a storage cluster.
