Starting the Cloud Storage Explorer Tool

You can use the Cloud Storage Explorer tool to view the file/folders and the associated information of the cloud storage libraries in your CommCell environment (in an Explorer-like format).

Procedure

  1. Log on to the Windows MediaAgent that contains the cloud library.

  2. In Windows Explorer, go to the <software_install_folder>\Base folder, and then double-click CloudStorageExplorer.exe.

    The CloudStorageExplorer window appears.

  3. Click the cloud library that you want to view.

    The connection status appears in the status bar.

  4. Press the <F7> key to display the size (in bytes) and the number of files in the bucket in the status bar

    cloud_storage_explorer

  5. Optional: Press the <F3> key on the bucket to access chunk folder directly from CloudStorageExplorer. When prompted, specify the path you want to access.

  6. Optional: Press the <F8> key to print the information (size of the volume and the number of objects available in that volume) available in the bucket in the <software_install_folder>\log\cloudstorageexplorer.log. The overall size of the bucket and the no. of objects in that bucket will also be displayed at the end of the log.

    Note

    Make sure to increase the size of cloudstorageexplorer.log file, especially when there is a large number of objects in the bucket, before pressing the <F8> key.

    Entries similar to the following will be printed in the cloudstorageexplorer.log file:
