When setting up NetApp Cloud Tiering with an S3 object storage bucket, it is crucial that the bucket configuration adheres to the default IAM policy for the cloud connector. Here's the configuration requirement:

Bucket Configuration with Specific Prefix: The IAM policy often specifies access permissions based on resource names or prefixes. For Cloud Tiering, particularly when integrating with FabricPool technology, the bucket should have a prefix set to fabric-pool. This allows the Cloud Tiering service to correctly identify and interact with the bucket, ensuring compliance with security policies and access controls.

Verify IAM Policy Configuration: Ensure that the IAM policy for the cloud connector includes permissions for operations on the S3 bucket with the fabric-pool prefix. This typically includes permissions to put, get, list, and delete objects within the bucket.

For further information on configuring S3 buckets for NetApp Cloud Tiering and detailed IAM policy settings, please consult the NetApp Cloud Tiering documentation available on the NetApp website: NetApp Cloud Tiering Documentation.
