⁠4.7. Validate the Object Storage Service Installation

After installing and configuring the Block Storage service, perform the following steps to validate it:

Procedure 4.6. Validating the Object Storage Service installation

On your proxy server node, use the openstack-config command to turn on debug level logging:
```
# openstack-config --set /etc/swift/proxy-server.conf DEFAULT log_level debug
```
Set up the shell to access Keystone as the admin user:
```
$ source ~/keystonerc_admin
```

Use the swift list to make sure you can connect to your proxy server:

$ swift list
      Message from syslogd@example-swift-01 at Jun 14 02:46:00 ...
 135 proxy-server Server reports support for api versions: v3.0, v2.0

Use the swift command to upload some files to your Object Storage Service nodes

$ head -c 1024 /dev/urandom > data1.file ; swift upload c1 data1.file
$ head -c 1024 /dev/urandom > data2.file ; swift upload c1 data2.file      
$ head -c 1024 /dev/urandom > data3.file ; swift upload c1 data3.file

Use the swift command to take a listing of the objects held in your Object Storage Service cluster.
```
$ swift list
$ swift list c1
data1.file
data2.file
data3.file
```

You have now uploaded 3 files into 1 container. If you check the other storage devices, you will find more .data files, depending on your replica count.

$ find /srv/node/ -type f -name "*data"
