Which aggregates does a newly created ONTAP S3 bucket occupy?
Applies to
- ONTAP 9
- ONTAP S3
Answer
- ONTAP S3 buckets are created within Object Store Server FlexGroup volumes (named
fg_oss_<number>) - If
-aggr-listor-exclude-aggr-listare specified during bucket creation, these are reflected in the parentfg_ossFlexGroup of the new bucket- If required, a new
fg_ossvolume will be created
- If required, a new
- Otherwise, if an
fg_ossvolume already exists, the bucket will be hosted on that FlexGroup - Finally, if no aggregates are specified and there is no preexisting
fg_oss volume, a new one will be created using theaggr-listconfigured on the SVM
Additional Information
After creation, the constituents of an
fg_oss volume can be moved with standard volume move commands as necessary.
