Creating a new bucket

Most of the configuration activities for creating an S3 bucket are performed via the CLI. You can perform limited activities in the ThinkSystem Storage Manager GUI. These activities include adding a bucket in an existing SVM and copying permissions from that bucket to a newly created bucket.

  1. Click Storage > Buckets.
  2. Specify the name of the bucket, the SVM to assign the bucket to, and the capacity of the bucket.
  3. If needed, click Additional Options and specify the additional parameters, including the user permissions and if the bucket should be used for tiering.
  4. Click on Save
