System Failures: On the ECS side, several issues can cause System Failures to appear. Some examples would be:

  • Timeout while writing big S3 objects to the ECS (as per the S3 Best Practices, it is recommended to use Multi-Part Upload (MPU) instead of uploading large S3 objects). See KB: ECS: Writing large files failing with 500 errors for S3 Protocol.
  • ECS capacity has reached the Threshold of 90%.
  • One or more services are restarting.


User Failures: Some issues are due to problems addressing the S3 Bucket Object. Some of these issues are:

  • The wrong S3 key or SecretKey was supplied.
  • The wrong addressing style was used in the S3 query that does not address the BaseURL added to the ECS Virtual Data Center (VDC). Consulte en KB 180103: La falta de BaseURL provoca errores de código 400/404 durante las operaciones de lectura y escritura
  • The S3 Object is not found or was deleted.
  • Metadata Search query ran to a non-enabled Metadata Search Bucket, and so on. Consulte en KB 180103: Administración de depósitos: descripción general y resolución de problemas
