Applies to

  • ONTAP 9
  • Fabricpool
  • ONTAP S3 (backend for Fabricpool capacity tier)

Answer

  • When the capacity tier becomes too full to accommodate new tiered blocks, requests to tier the blocks to objects will fail (the object store server will report back HTTP status code 507 "Insufficient Storage" to the PUT request)
  • ONTAP will log an EMS message relating to this when it first encounters a failed attempt to tier cold blocks for the object, then periodically afterward until addressed
    • Example message: 1/21/2025 20:17:58  fas8080-wic-1    ALERT         object.store.full: Failed to write to object store capacityTier because it is out of space.
  • The untiered blocks will simply remain in the local tier, since they were not able to be tiered to the ONTAP_S3 / cloud tier
  • In other words, data will remain accessible, but blocks not already tiered to the capacity tier will cease to be tiered until additional capacity is added at the capacity tier
