# Minio Storage Class Quickstart Guide [](https://slack.minio.io)
|
|
|
|
Minio server supports storage class in erasure coding mode. This allows configurable data and parity disks per object.
|
|
|
|
## Overview
|
|
|
|
Minio supports two storage classes, Reduced Redundancy class and Standard class. These classes can be defined using environment variables
|
|
set before starting Minio server. After the data and parity disks for each storage class are defined using environment variables,
|
|
you can set the storage class of an object via request metadata field `x-amz-storage-class`. Minio server then honors the storage class by
|
|
saving the object in specific number of data and parity disks.
|
|
|
|
### Values for standard storage class (STANDARD)
|
|
|
|
`STANDARD` storage class implies more parity than `REDUCED_REDUNDANCY` class. So, `STANDARD` parity disks should be
|
|
|
|
- Greater than or equal to 2, if `REDUCED_REDUNDANCY` parity is not set.
|
|
- Greater than `REDUCED_REDUNDANCY` parity, if it is set.
|
|
|
|
Parity blocks can not be higher than data blocks, so `STANDARD` storage class parity can not be higher than N/2. (N being total number of disks)
|
|
|
|
Default value for `STANDARD` storage class is `N/2` (N is the total number of drives).
|
|
|
|
### Reduced redundancy storage class (REDUCED_REDUNDANCY)
|
|
|
|
`REDUCED_REDUNDANCY` implies lesser parity than `STANDARD` class. So,`REDUCED_REDUNDANCY` parity disks should be
|
|
|
|
- Less than N/2, if `STANDARD` parity is not set.
|
|
- Less than `STANDARD` Parity, if it is set.
|
|
|
|
As parity below 2 is not recommended, `REDUCED_REDUNDANCY` storage class is not supported for 4 disks erasure coding setup.
|
|
|
|
Default value for `REDUCED_REDUNDANCY` storage class is `2`.
|
|
|
|
## Get started with Storage Class
|
|
|
|
### Set storage class
|
|
|
|
The format to set storage class environment variables is as follows
|
|
|
|
`MINIO_STORAGE_CLASS_STANDARD=EC:parity`
|
|
`MINIO_STORAGE_CLASS_RRS=EC:parity`
|
|
|
|
For example, set `MINIO_STORAGE_CLASS_RRS` parity 2 and `MINIO_STORAGE_CLASS_STANDARD` parity 3
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
export MINIO_STORAGE_CLASS_STANDARD=EC:3
|
|
export MINIO_STORAGE_CLASS_RRS=EC:2
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
If storage class is not defined before starting Minio server, and subsequent PutObject metadata field has `x-amz-storage-class` present
|
|
with values `REDUCED_REDUNDANCY` or `STANDARD`, Minio server uses default parity values.
|
|
|
|
### Set metadata
|
|
|
|
In below example `minio-go` is used to set the storage class to `REDUCED_REDUNDANCY`. This means this object will be split across 6 data disks and 2 parity disks (as per the storage class set in previous step).
|
|
|
|
```go
|
|
s3Client, err := minio.New("localhost:9000", "YOUR-ACCESSKEYID", "YOUR-SECRETACCESSKEY", true)
|
|
if err != nil {
|
|
log.Fatalln(err)
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
object, err := os.Open("my-testfile")
|
|
if err != nil {
|
|
log.Fatalln(err)
|
|
}
|
|
defer object.Close()
|
|
objectStat, err := object.Stat()
|
|
if err != nil {
|
|
log.Fatalln(err)
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
n, err := s3Client.PutObject("my-bucketname", "my-objectname", object, objectStat.Size(), minio.PutObjectOptions{ContentType: "application/octet-stream", StorageClass: "REDUCED_REDUNDANCY"})
|
|
if err != nil {
|
|
log.Fatalln(err)
|
|
}
|
|
log.Println("Uploaded", "my-objectname", " of size: ", n, "Successfully.")
|
|
``` |
