VCD Object Storage Extension-Part 6: Service Provider Configuration

In last post of this series, I explained end to end installation & configuration workflow of VCD OSE. In this post I will walk through steps of finalizing OSE configuration from CSP point of view.

If you have landed directly on this post by mistake, I would recommend reading previous articles from this series:

Login to VCD with system admin credentials  and navigate to Home > Customize Portal. Select VCD Object Storage Extension and click on Publish button.

vCD-OSE60

Select the scope of publishing OSE plugin and also select the Tenants to whom you want to expose this plugin.

vCD-OSE61

From Main menu, go to Object Storage sub menu and select Tenants tab.

vCD-OSE62

To enable Tenants to consume Object Storage, first we have to enable them to do so. 

Click on any tenant and toggle the button to Enable OSE for that tenant.

vCD-OSE64

Click on Enable button to finish the wizard.

vCD-OSE65

Now the selected tenant is enabled for consuming object storage within VCD portal.

Troubleshooting Tip

If you are seeing below screen after logging as service provider, restart the OSE Keeper service by running command: systemctl restart voss-keeper

OSE-Error

And that’s it for this post.
