Register the Walrus Backend

This topic describes how to register the Walrus Backend service with the Cloud Controller (CLC).

Prerequisites

• You must be using the Walrus Backend service as your object storage provider.
• The Cloud Controller must be properly installed and started.

To register the Walrus Backend service with the Eucalyptus cloud

On the CLC host machine, run the following command:

euserv-register-service -t walrusbackend -h IP SVCINSTANCE

where:

• SVCINSTANCE is the IP of the Walrus Backend you are registering with this CLC.
• must be a unique name for the Walrus Backend service. We recommend that you use a short-hand name of the hostname or IP address of the machine.

For example:

euserv-register-service -t walrusbackend -h 10.111.5.182 walrus-10.111.5.182

Copy the security credentials from the CLC to each machine running a Walrus Backend service. Run this command on the CLC host machine:

clcadmin-copy-keys HOST [HOST ...]

For example:

clcadmin-copy-keys 10.111.5.182

Verify that the Walrus Backend service is registered with the following command:

euserv-describe-services SVCINSTANCE

The registered Walrus Backend service is now ready for your cloud.
