Manage links that you've associated with your Workload Factory account. You can view links that are associated with an FSx for ONTAP file system or an OCI NetApp Storage Service (OCI NSS) system, provide passwords used for link authentication, and remove links from NetApp Console.
View the links associated with your account
You can view the links that are currently associated with your account.

To view the storage systems that are associated with a link, select the View button in the Associated resources section.
-
If you need the Amazon Resource Name (ARN) for the link, you can select the copy icon next to the ARN field.
Edit a link
You can't edit a link from NetApp Console. If you need to make a change to a link, you'll need to create a new link and then associate that link to your storage system.
|
You can edit the AWS Lambda or Oracle Cloud Functions network configuration (for example VPC, subnets, and security groups) using your cloud provider's console and the changes will be reflected in links or Functions management UI; however, these changes can lead to connectivity issues between AWS Lambda or Oracle CLoud Functions and ONTAP, and are not recommended. |
Authenticate a link
Authenticate a link by providing an administrative user password for Workload Factory credentials or with a secret from AWS Secrets Manager or Oracle Vault.
-
For AWS Secrets Manager, provide either the secret name or an AWS Secrets Manager secret ARN to connect the link to an FSx for ONTAP file system.
AWS Secrets Manager isn't supported when using a Console agent. -
For Oracle Vault, provide the vault secret OCID to connect the link to an OCI NetAApp Storage Service system.
|
|
Only one authentication method is supported per link. For example, if you select link authentication with AWS Secrets Manager, you can't change the authentication method later. |
