Command line interpreter for accessing a data object stored in a distributed storage network
First Claim
1. A method for execution by a computing device of a dispersed storage network (DSN), the method comprises:
- obtaining a data object for storage in the DSN;
generating a data object identifier for the data object;
determining a vault of the DSN for storing the data object;
generating a source name for the data object based on the data object identifier and a vault identifier, which identifies the vault;
dispersed storage error encoding the data object to produce a plurality of sets of encoded data slices;
wherein the dispersed storage error encoding the data object further comprises;
dispersed storage error encoding the data object in accordance with dispersed storage error encoding parameters that include a pillar width number and a decode threshold number, wherein pillar width number corresponds to a total number of encoded data slices in a set of encoded data slices and the decode threshold number is a minimum number of encoded data slices of the set of encoded data slices needed to recover a corresponding data segment of the data object;
generating a plurality of sets of slice names for the plurality of sets of encoded data slices, wherein each of the slice names of the plurality of slice names includes the source name; and
sending, in accordance with the plurality of sets of slice names, the plurality of sets of encoded data slices to a set of storage units of the DSN that supports the vault for storage therein.
