ONTAP 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.

Network Time Protocol (NTP) configuration is required to ensure time is synchronized between clusters and clients. A valid timestamp of at least 15 minutes difference between the ONTAP S3 object store and the client is often required for client access. Learn about how to configure NTP. |
When you configure S3 access to a new storage VM using System Manager, you are prompted to enter certificate and networking information, and the storage VM and S3 object storage server are created in a single operation.
