Creating a Parallel File System (SDK for Go)

Function

Parallel file systems (PFSs) are containers for storing objects in OBS. Files uploaded to OBS are stored as objects in PFSs. This API creates a PFS.

When creating a PFS, you can also configure parameters such as the storage class, region, and access control as needed.

Restrictions

  • To create a PFS, you must have the obs:bucket:CreateBucket permission. IAM is recommended for granting permissions. For details, see IAM Custom Policies.
  • The mapping between OBS regions and endpoints must comply with what is listed in Regions and Endpoints.

    When creating a PFS, if you use the endpoint obs.myhuaweicloud.com for client initialization, you do not have to specify a region (indicated by location) where the PFS will be created, because OBS automatically creates the PFS in the CN North-Beijing1 (cn-north-1) region. However, if the endpoint you use is not obs.myhuaweicloud.com, you must specify a region that matches the used endpoint, or status code 400 is returned.

    For example, if the endpoint used for initialization is obs.ap-southeast-1.myhuaweicloud.com, you must set Location to ap-southeast-1 when creating a PFS. Otherwise, status code 400 is returned.

  • A maximum of 100 PFSs (regardless of regions) can be created for an account. There is no limit on the number and size of objects in a PFS.
  • The name of a PFS must be unique in OBS. If you repeatedly create PFSs with the same name in the same region, an HTTP status code 200 will be returned. In other cases, creating a PFS with the same name as an existing PFS will have an HTTP status code 409 returned, indicating that such a PFS already exists.
  • The name of a deleted PFS can be reused for another PFS at least 30 minutes after the deletion.
  • Not all regions support the creation of multi-AZ PFSs. You can check whether a region allows you to create multi-AZ PFSs by referring to Product Pricing Details.

Value range:

To learn about valid regions and endpoints, see Regions and Endpoints. An endpoint is the request address for calling an API. Endpoints vary depending on services and regions. To obtain the regions and endpoints, contact the enterprise administrator.

Default value:

If obs.myhuaweicloud.com is used as the endpoint and no region is specified, cn-north-1 (the CN North-Beijing1 region) is used by default.

Default value:

None

GrantFullControlDeliveredId

string

No

Explanation:

ID (domain_id) of an account the FULL_CONTROL permission is granted to. The account with the FULL_CONTROL permission has full control over the PFS you are creating. By default, the FULL_CONTROL permission applies to all objects in the PFS.

Value range:

To obtain the account ID, see How Do I Get My Account ID and User ID?

Default value:

None

Epid
