3. Create object account, user and import the key on the second FB

The following steps should be performed on the second FlashBlade. The steps are similar to the one done on the first FB except we will be importing the key created from the first FB onto the second FB.

1. On the second FlashBlade, go to the Object Store tab under the Storage view and click the + (add) button against the Accounts section.

   

2. Provide an account name and click the Create button.

   

3. Under the Storage > Object Store > Accounts section, click the account that was created in the previous step. This should show the Users section. Click the + (add) button to create a new user.

   

4. Provide a username and click the Create button.

   

5. Select the relevant access policies based on your security requirements. For convenience, select the "pure:policy/full-access" policy and click Add.

   At the minimum, for Splunk Multisite to work, you need the following policies object-delete, object-list, object-read, object- write.

   

6. At this point, select “Import an existing key” option instead of creating a new key. It should show fields to enter the access key and secret key. Enter the access key and secret key from the first FlashBlade here and click the Import button.
