Verify operation
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Verify operation of the Object Storage service.

.. note::

   Perform these steps on the controller node.

.. warning::

   If you are using Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7 or CentOS 7 and one or more of
   these steps do not work, check the ``/var/log/audit/audit.log`` file for
   SELinux messages indicating denial of actions for the ``swift`` processes.
   If present, change the security context of the ``/srv/node`` directory to
   the lowest security level (s0) for the ``swift_data_t`` type, ``object_r``
   role and the ``system_u`` user:

   .. code-block:: console

      # chcon -R system_u:object_r:swift_data_t:s0 /srv/node

#. Source the ``demo`` credentials:

   .. code-block:: console

      $ . demo-openrc

#. Show the service status:

   .. code-block:: console

      $ swift stat

#. Create ``container1`` container:

   .. code-block:: console

      $ openstack object create container1 FILE

   Replace ``FILE`` with the name of a local file to upload to the
   ``container1`` container.

      $ openstack object list container1
      +------+
      | Name |
      +------+
      | FILE |

#. Download a test file from the ``container1`` container:

   .. code-block:: console

      $ openstack object save container1 FILE

   Replace ``FILE`` with the name of the file uploaded to the
   ``container1`` container.
