Back up to OpenStack SWIFT using ON-Bar and the PSM (DEPRECATED)

You can use ON-Bar and the Primary Storage Manager to back up and restore data to or from the OpenStack SWIFT Object Storage. You are responsible for terms and any charges associated with your use of the Object Storage.

Before you begin

Notice of Deprecation:

This feature is provided for backward compatibility and could be removed in the future or its interface changed. It uses the OpenStack identity service (V1) .

Prerequisites:

You must have a OpenStack Swift compliant server and account to perform cloud storage backups.

Procedure

You must use the onkstore utility to create a keystore of type "open-stack-v1" ( OpenStack SWIFT Version 1) and provide the Authentication User and its Authentication Key
Configure Primary Storage Manager.
Create a device in PSM of type CLOUD using SWIFT as provider.
```
onpsm -D add ttps://myobjectstorage.net/auth/v1.0/mycontainer/onedb \
-g DBSPOOL \
-p HIGHEST \
-t CLOUD \
--creds /home/onedb/keystores/swift.p12  
```
In this command line:
1. The name of the device is formatted using "https://{HOST}/auth/v1.0/{CONTAINER}/{PREFIX}".
2. ‘-t CLOUD’, is the device type that enable PSM to store/retrieve the data to/from a CLOUD infrastructure.
3. --creds is the full path of the keystore containing the credentials to access the OpenStack SWIFT object storage.

Check the created device:

$ onpsm -D list
