Quick Start

Endpoint URLs

You will be given URLs to access your service: one for GUI access, and another for S3 REST API access. There are other URLs which may be used for different linked services, but the GUI and REST URLs are the keys ones for most access. The URLs are referred to as your endpoint in this guide. They will typically take the following form:

GUI access https://console.<endpoint-name>.lyve.seagate.com
REST access https://s3.<endpoint-name>.lyve.seagate.com

Where <endpoint-name> appears in the URL, substitute the endpoint name value for your specific endpoint. Take note of your URLs, as they are your means of addressing the services over the internet.

Alternatively, you may receive a different URL as the endpoint for your service. This is a custom domain. In this case, you should use the custom URL in place of the <endpoint-name>.lyve.seagate.com wherever it appears in this guide. If needed, contact Lyve Cloud Support for more information.

About S3 REST API endpoints

Most applications and third-party systems will access the system via the S3 protocol. To do this, you will need the S3 REST API URL. This is always https://s3.<endpoint-name>.lyve.seagate.com, as mentioned above. 

Account IDs

An account ID is a unique identification that is associated with your Lyve Cloud Object Storage account. An account ID is unique across all Lyve Cloud accounts on your endpoint, and can include the company name specified during account creation. The account ID helps to identify and distinguish the resources in one account from the resources in another account.

 The length of the account ID must be between 3 and 63 characters. Only lowercase characters, numbers, and hyphens  -  are allowed.

You cannot change the account ID once it is created.

The account ID is used in the login page as field in the information requested along with your username and password. The console URL has the following format:

https://<account-ID>.console.<endpoint-name>

Sign in to Lyve Cloud Object Storage

To use the Lyve Cloud Object Storage console, you must sign in using your account credentials. You will need a login URL, which contains a unique account ID. The login URL has the following format: 

https://console.<endpoint-name>/signin

where <endpoint-name> is the unique name of your endpoint.

After successful onboarding, you will receive a welcome email. This email contains the Lyve Cloud URL or endpoint for your access. Using the URL, you can sign in to Lyve Cloud Object Storage by creating a password. Select the Forgot password link to create the password.

If you know your Account ID, the login URL can be set up with the following format:

https://console.<endpoint-name>/signin?c=<account-id>

where <account-id> is your unique Account ID.

Bookmark or save this URL to sign in to the console in the future.

Note that if you try to log in to the console using the simple URL https://console.<endpoint name>, you will be prompted to enter your unique Account ID.
