<uri>
The cloud account URI. This URI must match that provided to the cloud vendor.
{--account-username | -u} <string>
The username for the cloud account. This name must be identical to the user name provided by the cloud vendor.
--key <string>
The cloud account access key or password. This information is provided by the cloud vendor.
--enabled {yes | no}
Enables or disables the account at creation time. By default, a cloud storage account is enabled on creation. To disable an account on creation, use this setting with the no option.
--account-id <string>
A required Amazon S3-only setting. The account ID number provided by Amazon when you first establish an account with the vendor.
--telemetry-bucket <string>
A required Amazon S3-only setting. The telemetry bucket name that you specified when you first established an account with the vendor. This is where usage reports are stored.
--storage-region <string>
An optional parameter for Amazon S3 or Google Storage Platform cloud types. The region value must match the storage region that you specified when you first established an account with the cloud provider. For example, us-west-1. If you do not specify a region, the cloud provider chooses its default region.
--skip-ssl-validation {yes | no}
Specifies whether to circumvent SSL certificate validation when connecting to a cloud provider's storage repository. Unless you specify this setting with a yes instruction, OneFS will attempt to perform SSL certificate validation when connecting. For security purposes, we recommend not enabling this setting. If you are connecting to a cloud provider that is within your corporate network (for example, PowerScale or ECS), and you are having trouble connecting, you can skip SSL validation.
--enable-ocsp {yes | no}
Applies only to the C2S-S3 cloud type. It indicates whether to use OCSP to check the revocation status of the authentication certificate.
--ocsp-responder-url-required {yes | no}
Applies only to the C2S-S3 cloud type. It indicates whether a certificate without an OCSP responder URL is considered valid or not.
--proxy <string>
The network proxy through which CloudPools traffic to and from a public cloud provider should be redirected. The specified network proxy must already have been created with the isi cloud proxies create command.
