Answer

  • Use S3 Client: Utilize an S3 client or command-line tool (like aws s3 ls) to list the contents of the bucket
    • :: aws s3 ls --endpoint http://<ontap-s3-lif-ip>/s3://<ontap-s3-bucket-name> --recursive
  • Check for Object Versions: If versioning is enabled, ensure that the specific object versions are also checked
  • As they may still exist even if the latest version appears deleted
  • To check the object versioning state of a bucket, follow these steps
  • Access the Dashboard: Select View buckets from the dashboard or navigate to STORAGE (S3) > Buckets
  • Select the Bucket: Click on the name of the bucket you want to check from the table
  • View Bucket Details: The bucket details page will appear
  • Check Versioning State
  • Go to the Bucket options tab
  • Select the Object versioning accordion to view the current versioning state
