Set up AWS S3 as the cloud tier

You can set up AWS S3 as the cloud tier for FabricPool. You can set up AWS Commercial Cloud Services (C2S) for FabricPool.

Considerations for using AWS S3 with FabricPool
  • You might need a FabricPool license.

    • Newly ordered ETERNUS AX series come with 10 TB of free capacity for using FabricPool.

      If you need additional capacity on an ETERNUS AX series, if you use AWS S3 on a non-ETERNUS AX series, or if you upgrade from an existing cluster, you need a FabricPool license.

      If you order FabricPool for the first time for an existing cluster, a FabricPool license with 10 TB of free capacity is available.

  • It is recommended that the LIF that ONTAP uses to connect with the AWS S3 object server be on a 10 Gbps port.

  • On ETERNUS AX and ETERNUS HX series, FabricPool supports the following Amazon S3 storage classes:

    Contact your sales representative for information about storage classes not listed.

  • On Cloud Volumes ONTAP, FabricPool supports tiering from General Purpose SSD (gp2) and Throughput Optimized HDD (st1) volumes of Amazon Elastic Block Store (EBS).

Steps
  1. Specify the AWS S3 configuration information by using the storage aggregate object-store config create command with the -provider-type AWS_S3 parameter.

    • You use the -auth-type CAP parameter to obtain credentials for C2S access.

      When you use the -auth-type CAP parameter, you must use the -cap-url parameter to specify the full URL to request temporary credentials for C2S access.

    • The storage aggregate object-store config create command fails if ONTAP cannot access AWS S3 with the provided information.

    • You use the -access-key parameter to specify the access key for authorizing requests to the AWS S3 object store.

    • You use the -secret-password parameter to specify the password (secret access key) for authenticating requests to the AWS S3 object store.

    • If the AWS S3 password is changed, you should update the corresponding password stored in ONTAP immediately.

      Doing so enables ONTAP to access the data in AWS S3 without interruption.

      -server s3.amazonaws.com -container-name my-aws-bucket

  2. Display and verify the AWS S3 configuration information by using the storage aggregate object-store config show command.

    The storage aggregate object-store config modify command enables you to modify the AWS S3 configuration information for FabricPool.
