Follow these guidelines when creating domains:
Set up a default cluster domain (a domain name that exactly matches the name of the cluster). Every object with no domain explicitly defined belongs to the default cluster domain.
Create at least one domain for named objects.
Verify all domain names are unique among all managed clusters. An SCSP operation to create a domain with the same name in multiple storage clusters creates different domains that share the same name. This leads to name collision and incorrect results if the different domains are replicated into the same cluster. Create the domain name once and use Swarm remote replication to copy it into separate clusters when creating a new domain.
Verify all domain names are IANA-compliant (
cluster.example.com). Create an IANA-compliant domain name and then create all named objects in buckets in that domain if a cluster name that is not IANA-compliant currently exists. See Naming Rules.
