Setting up networks for object storage

Prerequisites

• A clear understanding of the concept Traffic types.

To create the network configuration for object storage

1. Go to Infrastructure > Networks and ensure that your infrastructure has the following networks:
   • A private network with the OSTOR private traffic type
   • A public network with the S3 public traffic type
2. Ensure the public network for the S3 nodes is balanced by an external DNS load balancer.
3. If you plan to use RDMA over InfiniBand, move the traffic type Storage to a dedicated network and assign that network to the IB interface.
4. Configure network interfaces on the nodes that you plan to join the S3 cluster and connect the interfaces to your networks.
