After logging into the ECS Cluster, the dashboard page displays general cluster information including details about capacity, performance, CPU and memory usage details, nodes health, requests and more. This is a great tool for multiple administrators to remotely manage enterprise storage.
Namespaces allow for the segregation of storage space which reduces coupling, and they enable ECS’s multi-tenancy feature. Unlike storage pools and replication groups, many namespaces can be created. However, a single namespace is appropriate for some environments. There are several beneficial use cases for namespaces:
The following screenshots show steps to create a user in Dell ECS storage. Users can access the objects present in ECS storage.
Buckets contain objects created in a namespace and are sometimes considered a logical container for sub-tenants. Each namespace is created within a Replication Group (RG). The term ‘buckets’ has been adopted by ECS because that is what S3 calls containers. Buckets are global resources in ECS that can span multiple sites.
Bucket creation involves assigning it to a namespace and a Replication Group. The bucket level is where the ownership and file or CAS access is enabled.
