mc ilm tier update

The mc ilm tier update command modifies an existing configured remote tier.

Syntax

The following example updates the credentials for an existing remote tier called S3TIER on the myaistor deployment.

 mc ilm tier update myaistor S3TIER --access-key ACCESS_KEY --secret-key SECRET_KEY

After running this command, lifecycle management rules on the myaistor deployment use the tier’s new credentials to transition objects into the remote location. Options not modified in the command maintain their existing configurations.

The command has the following syntax:

mc ilm tier update TARGET                         \
                   TIER_NAME                      \
                   [--account-key value]          \
                   [--access-key value]           \
                   [--az-sp-tenant-id value]      \
                   [--az-sp-client-id value]      \
                   [--az-sp-client-secret value]  \
                   [--secret-key value]           \
                   [--use-aws-role]               \
                   [--credentials-file value]

Brackets [] indicate optional parameters.
Parameters sharing a line are mutually dependent.
Parameters separated using the pipe | operator are mutually exclusive.

Copy the example to a text editor and modify as-needed before running the command in the terminal/shell.

Examples

Rotate credentials for S3

The following example updates the credentials for an S3 remote tier called S3TIER on the myaistor deployment.

mc ilm tier update myaistor S3TIER --access-key ACCESS_KEY --secret-key SECRET_KEY

Replace S3TIER with the name for your Amazon Simple Storage Solution tier.
Replace ACCESS_KEY with the updated access key for your S3 storage.
Replace SECRET_KEY with the updated secret key for the access key provided.

Rotate credentials for Azure Blob Storage

The following example updates the credentials for an Azure remote tier called AZTIER on the myaistor deployment.

mc ilm tier update myaistor AZTIER --account-key ACCOUNT-KEY

Replace AZTIER with the name for your Azure tier.
Replace ACCOUNT-KEY with the updated key for your Azure storage.

Rotate credentials for Google Cloud Storage

The following example updates the credentials for a Google Cloud Storage remote tier called GCSTIER on the myaistor deployment.

 mc ilm tier update myaistor GCSTIER --credentials-file /path/to/credentials.json

Replace GCSTIER with the name for your Google Cloud Storage tier.
Replace /path/to/credentials.json with the path of the updated credential file to use to access the remote storage.

Behavior

Supported S3 services

mc ilm tier supports only the following S3-compatible services as a remote target for object tiering:

MinIO AIStor
Amazon S3
Google Cloud Storage
Azure Blob Storage

Required permissions

MinIO AIStor requires the following permissions scoped to to the bucket or buckets for which you are creating lifecycle management rules:

MinIO AIStor also requires the following administrative permissions on the cluster in which you are creating remote tiers for object transition lifecycle management rules:

For example, the following policy provides permission for configuring object transition lifecycle management rules on any bucket in the cluster:

{
   "Version": "2012-10-17",
   "Statement": [
      {
            "Action": [
               "admin:SetTier",
               "admin:ListTier"
            ],
            "Effect": "Allow",
            "Sid": "EnableRemoteTierManagement"
      },
      {
            "Action": [
               "s3:PutLifecycleConfiguration",
               "s3:GetLifecycleConfiguration"
            ],
            "Resource": [
                        "arn:aws:s3:::*"
            ],
            "Effect": "Allow",
            "Sid": "EnableLifecycleManagementRules"
      }
   ]
}

Transition permissions

Object transition lifecycle management rules require additional permissions on the remote storage tier. Specifically, MinIO AIStor requires the remote tier credentials provide read, write, list, and delete permissions.

For example, if the remote storage tier implements AWS IAM policy-based access control, the following policy provides the necessary permission for transitioning objects into and out of the remote tier:

{
   "Version": "2012-10-17",
   "Statement": [
      {
            "Action": [
               "s3:ListBucket"
            ],
            "Effect": "Allow",
            "Resource": [
               "arn:aws:s3:::MyDestinationBucket"
            ],
            "Sid": ""
      },
      {
            "Action": [
               "s3:GetObject",
               "s3:PutObject",
               "s3:DeleteObject"
            ],
            "Effect": "Allow",
            "Resource": [
               "arn:aws:s3:::MyDestinationBucket/*"
            ],
            "Sid": ""
      }
   ]
}

Modify the Resource for the bucket into which MinIO AIStor tiers objects.

Defer to the documentation for the supported tiering targets for more complete information on configuring users and permissions to support MinIO AIStor tiering:

S3 compatibility

This command uses a MinIO AIStor administrative API and does not work against other S3-compatible services.
