Before you begin

Have a copy of the operating system installation media available if you are installing on a new server.

These steps assume you have set up repositories for packages for your operating system as shown in OpenStack Packages.

This document demonstrates how to install a cluster by using the following types of nodes:

  • One proxy node which runs the swift-proxy-server processes. The proxy server proxies requests to the appropriate storage nodes.

  • Five storage nodes that run the swift-account-server, swift-container-server, and swift-object-server processes which control storage of the account databases, the container databases, as well as the actual stored objects.

[Note]Note

Fewer storage nodes can be used initially, but a minimum of five is recommended for a production cluster.
