After you install a Console agent in AWS, NetApp Console can automatically discover information about the Amazon S3 buckets that reside in the AWS account where the Console agent is installed. An Amazon S3 system is added to the Systems page so you can view this information.

You can see details about your S3 buckets, including the region, access policy, account, total and used capacity, and more. These buckets can be used as destinations for NetApp backup and recovery, NetApp tiering, or NetApp copy and sync operations. Additionally, you can use NetApp Data Classification to scan these buckets.

Steps

  1. Install a Console agent in the AWS account where you want to view your Amazon S3 buckets.

  2. From the NetApp Console menu, select Storage and then Management.

    You should automatically see your Amazon S3 system shortly after.

  2. Click Enter S3 system, or double-click the system, to view details about the S3 buckets in your AWS account.

    In addition to the columns that appear by default, you can scroll the page to view additional properties for the bucket; for example, the number of Tags, and whether Object Lock or Versioning have been enabled.
