Managing the OpenStack Object Storage cluster with swift-init
Services in our OpenStack Object Storage environment can be managed using the swift-init tool. This tool allows us to control all the daemons in OpenStack Object Storage in a convenient way. For information on installing and configuring the Swift services or daemons, see Chapter 5, Swift – OpenStack Object Storage.
Getting ready
Login to any OpenStack Object Storage node. If using the vagrant environment, these can be accessed by using the following commands:
vagrant ssh swift-proxy vagrant ssh swift-01 vagrant ssh swift-02 vagrant ssh swift-03 vagrant ssh swift-04 vagrant ssh swift-05
How to do it...
The swift-init tool can be used to control any of the running daemons in our OpenStack Object Storage cluster rather than calling individual init scripts, which makes it a convenient tool.
To control OpenStack Object Storage proxy, use the following command:
swift-init proxy-server { command }
