• The Cloud Foundry environment does not have persistent storage so we need to use the SAP Object Storage service for the PowerConnect Cloud agent to be able to persist its configuration

• Follow the documentation here to create an object store service and bind it to the PowerConnect Cloud app - https://help.sap.com/doc/3e17a6e11f3e46f4af9f33387471e3e0/Cloud/en-US/ObjectStore-EN.pdf

• Once the Object Store service has been bound to the PowerConnect Cloud app restage the app

  Code Block
  cf restage powerconnect-cloud

• The PowerConnect Cloud application should now be running and leveraging object storage as it’s datastore

  Code Block
  cf env
