Instructions

ADO stands for "Access During Outage".

Due to the high bucket count, it can be difficult to obtain information about which buckets are ADO enabled or disabled.

Follow article 000047497 - ECS: [bkt_info.py (oc_map)] Get Bucket Information (Specific or List of buckets)

  • Connect to ECS using an SSH client such as putty, using the admin user
  • Follow the article above 000047497 to obtain all bucket info.
Note the output file mentioned in the command output 

bkt_info.py --new_map --all_buckets

Example: 
admin@ecsnode3:~> bkt_info.py --new_map --all_buckets
...
...
 --> DUR:                   0 (Days) 00:00:01.058 (hh:mm:ss.ms)

- Reminder --> Output file: "/opt/emc/xdoctor/tools/ee_scripts/oc_map/suite/oc_cache/03-04-2022/08:37:00_ns_bkt_map.log"

admin@ecsnode3:~>
  • For easier handling set above output file as variable:
LOG="/opt/emc/xdoctor/tools/ee_scripts/oc_map/suite/oc_cache/03-04-2022/08:37:00_ns_bkt_map.log"

Example: 
admin@ecsnode3:~> LOG="/opt/emc/xdoctor/tools/ee_scripts/oc_map/suite/oc_cache/03-04-2022/08:37:00_ns_bkt_map.log"
admin@ecsnode3:~>
  • Generate a list of all namespaces and buckets sorted ADO enable = true on top of list:
grep ADO $LOG | head -1 > /tmp/NS+buckets_ADO.log; cat $LOG | egrep 'OB|LS' | grep -v "TOTALS FOR NAMESPACE" | sort -k8 >> /tmp/NS+buckets_ADO.log

Example: 
admin@ecsnode3:~> grep ADO $LOG | head -1 > /tmp/NS+buckets_ADO.log; cat $LOG | egrep 'OB|LS' | grep -v "TOTALS FOR NAMESPACE" | sort -k8 >> /tmp/NS+buckets_ADO.log
admin@ecsnode3:~>
  • Generate a list of all buckets with ADO enabled:
cat /tmp/NS+buckets_ADO.log | awk '$7 == "true"' | awk '{ print $1,$2 }' > /tmp/NS+buckets_ADO_enabled.log

Example: 
admin@ecsnode3:~> cat /tmp/NS+buckets_ADO.log | awk '$7 == "true"' | awk '{ print $1,$2 }' > /tmp/NS+buckets_ADO_enabled.log
admin@ecsnode3:~>
  • Generate a list of all buckets with ADO disabled:
cat /tmp/NS+buckets_ADO.log | awk '$7 == "false"' | awk '{ print $1,$2 }' > /tmp/NS+buckets_ADO_disabled.log

Example: 
admin@ecsnode3:~> cat /tmp/NS+buckets_ADO.log | awk '$7 == "false"' | awk '{ print $1,$2 }' > /tmp/NS+buckets_ADO_disabled.log
admin@ecsnode3:~>
  • Compare total bucket count with bucket lists:
Example: 
admin@ecsnode3:~> cat /tmp/NS+buckets_ADO.log | grep -v ADO | wc -l
6286
admin@ecsnode3:~> 
admin@ecsnode3:~> wc -l /tmp/NS+buckets_ADO_*
  198 /tmp/NS+buckets_ADO_disabled.log
 6088 /tmp/NS+buckets_ADO_enabled.log
 6286 total
admin@ecsnode3:~>

The following customer viewable article shows how ADO can be modified using CLI/curl.

It can be used in case the bucket count is too high for managing it over ECS UI:
