  • Deciding whether to use this guide
    This guide describes how to use Lenovo Storage Manager to configure S3 client access to objects contained in a bucket in an SVM. It includes examples and advanced configuration options.
  • About S3 support in ONTAP 9
    In ONTAP, the underlying architecture for a bucket is a FlexGroup volume—a single namespace that is made up of multiple constituent member volumes but is managed as a single volume.
  • S3 configuration workflow
    Configuring S3 involves assessing physical storage and networking requirements, and then choosing a workflow that is specific to your goal—configuring S3 access to a new or existing SVM, or adding a bucket and users to an existing SVM that is already fully configured for S3 access.
  • Configuring S3 access to an SVM
    Configuring S3 involves creating an SVM or enabling S3 on an existing SVM, then creating an S3 service policy, dedicated data LIFs, and an S3 server.
  • Adding storage capacity to an S3-enabled SVM
    To add storage capacity to an S3-enabled SVM, you must create a bucket to provide a storage container.
  • Storage service definitions
    ONTAP includes predefined storage services that are mapped to corresponding minimum performance factors.
  • Contacting Support
    You can contact Support to obtain help for your issue.
