Tier data to local bucket

Contributors netapp-lenida netapp-aaron-holt netapp-thomi

Beginning with ONTAP 9.8, you can tier data to local object storage using ONTAP S3.

Tiering data to a local bucket provides a simple alternative to moving data to a different local tier. This procedure uses either an existing bucket on the local cluster, or you can let ONTAP automatically create a new storage VM and a new bucket.

Keep in mind that once you attach the primary local bucket it cannot be unattached.

Before you begin
Step
  1. Tier data to a local bucket: click Storage > Tiers, in the SSD pane, select a local tier, click Menu options icon, and select Tier to local bucket.

  2. In the Primary tier section, choose either Existing or New.

  3. Click Save.
