Configuring FabricPool

Configuring FabricPool helps you manage which storage tier (the local performance tier or the cloud tier) data should be stored based on whether the data is frequently accessed.

  1. Preparing for FabricPool configuration
    The preparation required for FabricPool configuration depends on the object store you use as the cloud tier.
  2. Setting up an object store as the cloud tier for FabricPool
    Setting up FabricPool involves specifying the configuration information of the object store (StorageGRID, ONTAP S3, Alibaba Cloud Object Storage, AWS S3, Google Cloud Storage Platform, IBM Cloud Object Storage, or Microsoft Azure Blob Storage for the cloud) that you plan to use as the cloud tier for FabricPool.
  3. Attaching the cloud tier to an aggregate
    After setting up an object store as the cloud tier, you specify the aggregate to use by attaching it to FabricPool. In ONTAP 9.5 and later, you can also attach aggregates that contain qualified FlexGroup volume constituents.
