Hi Luis
Thanks for your reply.. It should address Andi's issue as the underlying Swift version is what is important and the functionality he needs is in the latest releases (I was told 5.1 includes Swift Train which is the latest version).
Am sure there is a beta program for Spectrum Scale.. Perhaps Andi should speak to his software sales rep and ask to be included on it to get access so that he can test.
Kind Regards

Hi
5.1.x is going GA very soon (TM). Would it address the issues Andi sees on his environment or not I cannot say.
I can take it with Andi for more details on the GA date

Date: Wed, Oct 28, 2020 08:47Hi Andi
The s3api middleware does support multipart uploads..
https://docs.openstack.org/swift/latest/s3_compat.html
The current version of Swift (PIKE) that is bundled with Spectrum Scale 5.0.X doesn't.. https://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/en/STXKQY_5.0.5/com.ibm.spectrum.scale.v5r05.doc/bl1adm_ManagingOpenStackACLsviaAmazonS3API.htm
According to the Spectrum Scale Roadmap, 5.1 is due out 2H20.. Not sure if someone from development can confirm the GA date.
Does Veeam have a test utility? You could always test it using the current Swift AIO or if you can provide me with a test utility I can test that for you.

Thanks for you reply.
When you say 5.1? is that 5.1.x.x or 5.0.5.1?
Some of the limitations we have encountered is the multipart upload not being supported and some md5sum that the s3 api does that veeam actually dont like. also interms of the management on the Scale GUI, that has to be on one of the S3 CES nodes in order to be able to show project, container etc... but when you have a HAProxy for enabling SSL then a GUI is not available as they both use port 443?
i know min.io is not the full stack of S3 API commands but as far as i can read it comes with more features out of the box than Scale S3 does, multipart for an example...
I looked through your documentation and its very close to what we have set up today and found to not work...
If multipart uploads would be supported today on scale S3 i would think about still using scale for the s3 part but as i expect that you talk about 5.1.x.x i dont see that being released any time soon? and dont know if that is actually going to be supported in that release then i cant wait for that to happen..
Best Regards
Andi Christiansen

Hi Andi
The current S3 compatibility in Spectrum Scale is delivered via the Swift3 middleware. This middleware has since been replaced by s3api in later versions of Swift. Spectrum Scale 5.1 will make use of Swift Train release which will include the new s3api middleware.
I've tested the S3 compatibility with a few applications including Spectrum Scale itself (i.e. Cloud Data Sharing to another Scale Object store using S3 API) and Spectrum Protect etc. and haven't had any issue. I've also ran a few application tools to test for an S3 compliant object stores and again had no issues.
You can use s3compat to test the current compatibility.. Or you can check here for the current compatibility.. https://docs.openstack.org/swift/latest/s3_compat.html
Not sure if there is any other way to talk HTTPS without using HAProxy.
In any case, I've documented the process to setup an S3 compliant object store including supporting virtual-hosted style bucket addressing which you can find here..
https://www.linkedin.com/feed/update/urn:li:activity:6720227398756909056/
Most storage vendors including minio would not support the full S3 API stack as alot of the calls are specific to AWS (like billing stuff etc.).
Anyway, good luck with your testing.

Hi all,
We have over a longer period used the S3 API within spectrum Scale.. And that has shown that it does not support very many applications because of limitations of the API..
Has anyone got any experience with any other product we can deploy on-top of Spectrum Scale that will give us a true S3 API with full functionalities and able to answer on port 443? As of now we use HAProxy to forware ssl request back and forth from Scale S3 API.
We have looked at MinIO which seems to be fairly simple and maybe might solve a lot of incompatibilities with clients software. But the product seems to be very badly documented at least for me.
The idea is basically that a client uses their backup application(rubrik, veeam etc.) to connect to a domain(for example backup.mycompany.com) with their access and secret key and have access to their bucket only. and it must be over https/ssl.
If someone has any knowledge to minio or any other product that might solve our problem I will be glad to hear from you! 😊
Thank you in advance!
