OpenStack Object Storage Managers

The OpenStack Object Storage (openstack-swift) service provides cloud object storage.

To use the OpenStack Object Storage service as a storage manager, you must first add an OpenStack cloud provider to your ManageIQ appliance and enable events. The Object Storage service will be automatically discovered by ManageIQ and added to the Storage Managers list in ManageIQ. See Adding OpenStack Providers for instructions on adding a cloud provider and enabling events.

Viewing Object Stores

The object store summary page shows details including the object store’s size, parent cloud, storage manager, cloud tenant, and the number of cloud objects on the object store.

In ManageIQ, view object stores on a object storage manager by following these steps:

1. Browse to menu: Storage > Object Stores to display a list of object store containers.

2. Click a container to open a summary page for that object store container.

3. Click Cloud Objects to view a list of object stores in the object store container.

4. Click an object store from the list to view the object store’s summary page.
