Site Settings

This page covers settings for site identification and configuration.

Each configuration setting controls fundamental AIStor behavior and functionality. Test configuration changes in a lower environment, such as DEV or QA, before applying to production.

Site name

Optional

Environment Variable

MINIO_SITE_NAME

Specify a name for the AIStor deployment. This name identifies the cluster in SUBNET registration and other administrative contexts.

If not set, AIStor automatically generates a name at startup using the format <MythicalCreature><Element> (for example, “GriffinWave”, “UnicornFrost”, “KrakenStone”). The auto-generated name persists across restarts.

When set as an environment variable, the name takes precedence and cannot be changed using mc admin name set or mc admin config set.

export MINIO_SITE_NAME="production-cluster"

Configuration Setting

site name

Specify a name for the AIStor deployment.

mc admin config set ALIAS site name="production-cluster"

You can also use mc admin name set to set or change the name:

mc admin name set ALIAS production-cluster

To view the current name:

mc admin name get ALIAS

Site region

Optional

Specify a region for the AIStor deployment. This setting is used for site replication configurations.
