Error: command failed: Cannot delete object store configuration "S3Bucket"
as the store is attached to one or more aggregates. Use the aggregate
object-store show -object-store-name S3Bucket command to view the
aggregates.
Procedure
• If the aggregate has been deleted and space freeing of the objects on the store is complete, the object store
config can be deleted
::> storage aggregate object-store config delete -object-store-name
S3Bucket
• In ONTAP 9.7 and later, it is possible to attach a second object store to an aggregate called a mirror
::> storage aggregate object-store mirror -aggregate <aggregate name>
-name <newMirror>
• This mirror will resync with the primary, which will succeed only if the primary is online and available
• Once the resync completes, the mirror can be made the primary and the original primary can be made the
mirror through a swap
::> storage aggregate object-store modify -aggregate <aggregate name>
-name <newMirror> -mirror-type primary
• The mirror can be detached by unmirroring, which will also delete the object store config
::> storage aggregate object-store unmirror -aggregate <aggregate name>
-name <oldPrimary>
• Refer to Replacing an existing object store using a FabricPool mirror for detailed steps
Additional Information
• Delete the aggregate and create a new one without FabricPool to have an aggregate without an object store
attached
• In ONTAP 9.5 and later, it is possible to replace the object store with another
