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:

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

1. Source the demo credentials:

   $ . demo-openrc

2. Show the service status:

   $ swift stat
                           Account: AUTH_ed0b60bf607743088218b0a533d5943f
                        Containers: 0
                           Objects: 0
                             Bytes: 0
       X-Account-Project-Domain-Id: default
                       X-Timestamp: 1444143887.71539
                        X-Trans-Id: tx1396aeaf17254e94beb34-0056143bde
                      Content-Type: text/plain; charset=utf-8
                     Accept-Ranges: bytes

3. Create container1 container:

   $ openstack container create container1
   +---------------------------------------+------------+------------------------------------+
   | account                               | container  | x-trans-id                         |
   +---------------------------------------+------------+------------------------------------+
   | AUTH_ed0b60bf607743088218b0a533d5943f | container1 | tx8c4034dc306c44dd8cd68-0056f00a4a |
   +---------------------------------------+------------+------------------------------------+

4. Upload a test file to the container1 container:

   $ openstack object create container1 FILE
   +--------+------------+----------------------------------+
   | object | container  | etag                             |
   +--------+------------+----------------------------------+
   | FILE   | container1 | ee1eca47dc88f4879d8a229cc70a07c6 |
   +--------+------------+----------------------------------+

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

5. List files in the container1 container:

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

6. Download a test file from the container1 container:

   $ openstack object save container1 FILE

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