Creating a Parallel File System¶
You can create a parallel file system on OBS Console.
Procedure¶
On the console homepage, click Service List in the upper left corner and choose Storage > Object Storage Service.
In the navigation pane, choose Parallel File Systems.
In the upper right corner of the page, click Create Parallel File System.
Select a region and enter a name for the parallel file system.
Note
Once a parallel file system is created, its name cannot be changed.
URLs do not support uppercase letters and cannot distinguish between names containing uppercase or lowercase letters. For example, if you attempt to access the parallel file system MyFileSystem using a URL, the file system name will be resolved to myfilesystem, causing an access error. For this reason, a parallel file system name can contain only lowercase letters, digits, periods (.), and hyphens (-).
Configure a policy. You can select Private, Public Read, or Public Read/Write for the parallel file system.
(Optional) Add tags. Tags are used to identify parallel file systems in OBS, for the purpose of classification. Each tag is represented by one key-value pair. For details about how to add a tag, see the "Tags" section in the Object Storage Service User Guide.
Confirm the settings at the bottom of the page and click Create Now.
View the file system you created just now in the parallel file system list.
Then, you can use the parallel file system the same way you use a bucket. For details, see Using PFS.
