Can we enable is_consistent_etag for a native s3 bucket
Applies to
- ONTAP 9
- ONTAP S3 Bucket
Answer
- The is_consistent_etag parameter cannot be set or applied to native S3 buckets.
- ETags in native S3 buckets are already consistent across GET/HEAD/LIST operations, as they are calculated using object size and modification time (mtime).
- If you require strict ETag consistency for a bucket that is accessed via both S3 and NAS protocols (a duality bucket), you may set is_consistent_etag=true on that bucket.
- For native S3 buckets, no workaround is needed as ETags are consistent by design.
Additional Information
Starting from ONTAP 9.17 the parameter
-is-consistent-etag can be enabled on the NAS s3 buckets.
