Enabling DAOS tier 2 storage on IBM Cloud Object Store

Complete the steps in this procedure to enable DAOS tier 2 storage on a Domino server when your storage service is IBM Cloud Object Store.

Procedure

Complete the following steps to enable DAOS tier 2 storage in the Domino directory Server document:
1. Open the Server document in the Domino® directory in edit mode.
  Note:
  - If you manage the Domino directory on the Domino administration server, set up the administration server to use the credential store, including creating a replica of the credential store on the administration server. For more information, see Configuring a credential store for DAOS tier 2 storage.
  - If you do not manage the Domino directory on the Domino administration server, make sure that the changes you make in this step replicate to the administration server.
2. Click the DAOS tab and refer to the Tier 2 Storage section of the document.
3. In the DAOS Tier 2 field, select Enable.
4. In the S3 Credential Name field, select the credential name from the Domino® credential store to use to connect to the storage service specifed in Step 5 of the procedure Configuring a credential store for DAOS tier 2 storage. For example, dominocos.
5. In the S3 Bucket field, enter the name of the bucket created in Step 2 of the procedure Configuring a credential store for DAOS tier 2 storage.
6. In the S3 Endpoint field, enter the endpoint to use to connect to the object storage service. For example: s3.us-south.cloud-object-storage.appdomain.cloud
7. In the S3 Region field, provide the region associated with the S3 Endpoint, for example: us-south
8. In the Push object to store if not accessed for field, enter the number of days an attachment is not accessed for it to be put in tier 2 storage. Default is 180 days.
9. In the Push objects only between field, specify the range of time to push attachments to tier 2 storage. Default is between 2:00 AM and 5: AM.
10. Optional: In the Index T2 attachments field, select Enable to rebuild full-text indexes for attachments stored in tier 2 when the indexer runs. By default, this option is disabled.
  
  Note: Enabling this option can cause you to incur additional network and transaction fees from your storage service vendor.
11. Save your changes.
Restart the Domino server:
```
restart server
```

What to do next

The server tests the DAOS tier 2 configuration. If the test is successful, the following output is shown at the server console:

AWS:AWSSelfTest: Success. AWS connection for DAOS is up and running.

If the test is not successful, the console shows an AWS:ProcessError error. For example, if the bucket name is incorrect, the following error is shown:

AWS:ProcessError: 131  Exception NoSuchBucket: The specified bucket does not exist
