Add an S Series Node to your HCP system

When you add an HCP S Series Node to your HCP system, HCP automatically creates a storage component, a storage pool (if an S Series storage pool does not already exist), and a bucket. A user account is also created. The user account is granted permission to manage buckets and storage pools.

Bucket creation

The bucket that HCP creates when you add an S Series Node is available only to that HCP system. The name of this bucket is:

hcpsrv-hcp-system-name

If a bucket with that name already exists, which can happen if the S Series Node is added to the HCP system a second time, HCP creates a new bucket named:

hcpsrv-hcp-system-name0

Subsequently, each time HCP automatically creates a new bucket on the S Series Node, HCP either increments the numeric suffix on the bucket name by one or reuses an earlier name from a deleted HCP software-created bucket.

User account creation

The user account that HCP creates when you add a S Series Node is:

hcpsrv-hcp-system-name

If a user account with that username already exists, HCP creates a new user account:

hcpsrv-hcp-system-name0

Subsequently, each time HCP creates a new user account on the S Series Node, HCP either increments the numeric suffix on the username by one or reuses an earlier username from a deleted HCP software-created account.
