Does a volume move between two NAE Fabricpool aggregates require cloud tier re-key?
Applies to
- Fabricpool
- NetApp Aggregate Encryption
Answer
- Cloud tier data is not re-keyed when both, source and destination NAE aggregates being involved in the volume move, are attached to the same Fabricpool configuration, using the identical S3 bucket for cloud tier.
- Performance tier data (including metadata, which always remains in performance tier) is re-keyed during a volume move between two Fabricpool NAE aggregates.
Additional Information
- Due to the requirement to re-key the performance tier (meta-)data during volume move between two NAE Fabricpool aggregates, the volume move can be slower when compared against volume moves where no data re-keying is required.
- Still, a volume move between two NAE Fabricpool Aggregates that are attached to identical Fabricpool S3 bucket is an optimized volume move and does not re-tier any cloud tier data, refer Why does volume move copy cloud tiered data on releases 9.6 and above.
