Zextras Powerstore on multiserver install and Bucket S3

[laragio]

Hi,
i installed the zextras suite on a new zimbra server to evaluate the possibility to migrate our production server on a new server with zextras installed.

I configured the Bucket S3 on the first server with success.
If i try to add a secondary volume on the second server always on a Bucket S3 i have this error on log

If i test the Bucket on the Config menu the Bucket is valid.

Any help?

Thanks

Hello Laragio,

that does look like a credential issue, you should start by checking your s3 store configuration parameters by running

zxsuite config server get $(zmhostname) attribute s3Stores

and

zxsuite config global get attribute s3BucketConfigurations

as the zimbra user. Of course the resulting output cannot be posted here.

Please let us know if there is indeed a configuration parameter that has to be fixed or you still need assistance.

Hi Gil,

i run the command in either server.
For the first command i have this output

server xxx-xxx-xxx-xx-xxxx
values

attribute s3Stores
value

For the second command
zxsuite config global get attribute s3BucketConfigurations

only in the first server i have the output with the configured bucket, in the second server i have no bucket configured.

global
values

attribute s3BucketConfigurations
value


So i login in the admin console of the second server go to Main configuration ->Bucket S3
and there are none bucket configured.
So i added the bucket in the admin console of the second server and after save the config the command now have this output

global
values

attribute s3BucketConfigurations
value

region xxxx
protocol HTTPS
secret xxx
accessKey xx
uuid xxxx
url
customS3 false
bucketName xxxx
destinationPath /xxxx/


And now from the Zextras menu in the Powerstore of the second server i can add a secondary volume on the bucket S3

Thanks

Hello Laragio,

indeed bucket configurations are a global setting while while store configurations are a local setting.

The exception is when a centralized storage is used, it is possible to find all information about it in our public documentation.
