To install QoreStor in Object Direct mode

  1. Copy the QoreStor installation files to the server.
  2. Set execution permission on the installation files using chmod. For example,

    $ chmod a+x qs_inst_7.0.1.238.bin

  3. With elevated privileges (either as root or with the sudo command), run the installation script with the desired parameters, using the below information as a guide. To install QoreStor in object direct mode, use the --object-direct parameter.
  • qs_inst_7.0.0.356.bin -- -f –p <repository_path> -m <metadata_path> --object-direct --mode=<cloud-optimized|standard|large> --accept-eula --install-deps -e <cloud-provider> -t <cloud-container-name> -o <cloud-connection-string>

Where.

-f enables firewall configuration
-h, --help displays this help message
-p, --repository_path=<pathname> is the path to the repository storage

-t, --cloud_container_name=<name> container name for object storage
-o, --cloud_connection_string=<password> access key for object-direct storage
--mode=<large |standard |cloud-optimized> selects the type of storage configuration
