Keepstore provides access to underlying storage for reading and writing content-addressed blocks, with enforcement of Arvados permissions. Keepstore supports a variety of cloud object storage and POSIX filesystems for its backing store.
-We recommend installing at least two Keepstore servers. By convention, we use the following hostname pattern:
+h2. Plan your storage layout
+
+In the steps below, you will configure a number of backend storage volumes (like local filesystems and S3 buckets) and specify which keepstore servers have read-only and read-write access to which volumes.
+
+It is possible to configure arbitrary server/volume layouts. However, in order to provide good performance and efficient use of storage resources, we strongly recommend using one of the following layouts:
+
+# Each volume is writable by exactly one server, and optionally readable by one or more other servers. The total capacity of all writable volumes is the same for each server.
+# Each volume is writable by all servers. Each volume has enough built-in redundancy to satisfy your requirements, i.e., you do not need Arvados to mirror data across multiple volumes.
+
+We recommend starting off with two Keepstore servers. Exact server specifications will be site and workload specific, but in general keepstore will be I/O bound and should be set up to maximize aggregate bandwidth with compute nodes. To increase capacity (either space or throughput) it is straightforward to add additional servers, or (in cloud environments) to increase the machine size of the existing servers.
+
+By convention, we use the following hostname pattern:
<div class="offset1">
table(table table-bordered table-condensed).
|_Hostname_|
-|keep0.@uuid_prefix@.your.domain|
-|keep1.@uuid_prefix@.your.domain|
+|keep0.@ClusterID@.example.com|
+|keep1.@ClusterID@.example.com|
</div>
Keepstore servers should not be directly accessible from the Internet (they are accessed via "keepproxy":install-keepproxy.html), so the hostnames only need to resolve on the private network.
-h2. Install Keepstore
-
-On Debian-based systems:
-
-<notextile>
-<pre><code>~$ <span class="userinput">sudo apt-get install keepstore</span>
-</code></pre>
-</notextile>
-
-On Red Hat-based systems:
+h2. Update cluster config
-<notextile>
-<pre><code>~$ <span class="userinput">sudo yum install keepstore</span>
-</code></pre>
-</notextile>
+h3. List services
-Verify that Keepstore is functional:
+Add each keepstore server to @/etc/arvados/config.yml@ .
<notextile>
-<pre><code>~$ <span class="userinput">keepstore --version</span>
+<pre><code> Services:
+ Keepstore:
+ # No ExternalURL because they are only accessed by the internal subnet.
+ InternalURLs:

-h3. Create config file
+h3. Configure storage volumes
-By default, keepstore will look for its configuration file at @/etc/arvados/keepstore/keepstore.yml@
+Available storage volume types include POSIX filesystems and cloud object storage.
-You can override the configuration file location using the @-config@ command line option to keepstore.
+* To use a POSIX filesystem, including both local filesystems (ext4, xfs) and network file system such as GPFS or Lustre, follow the setup instructions on "Filesystem storage":configure-fs-storage.html
+* If you are using S3-compatible object storage (including Amazon S3, Google Cloud Storage, and Ceph RADOS), follow the setup instructions on "S3 Object Storage":configure-s3-object-storage.html
+* If you are using Azure Blob Storage, follow the setup instructions on "Azure Blob Storage":configure-azure-blob-storage.html

-Available storage volume types include cloud object storage and POSIX filesystems.
+After adding all of your keepstore servers to the Services section, make sure the cluster config file is up to date on the API server host, and restart the API server and controller processes to ensure the changes are applied.
