Deleting an External S3 Object Store

Delete reference to an external S3 object store that has been imported into the global namespace.

Prerequisites

You must be a fabric manager or a fabric user to perform this operation.

If you are a fabric user, you can delete an external S3 object store if you are the owner of the imported S3 object store.

About this task

As a fabric manager, you can remove the reference to an external S3 object store from the global namespace. Once an imported external S3 object store is deleted, you are unable to access any objects that are present on the external S3 object store. The objects,however, are not deleted from the object store. Only the object store association with the Data Fabric global namespace is removed.

A fabric user that is the owner of an external S3 object store can delete the external S3 object store from the global namespace.

Procedure

  1. Log on to the Data Fabric UI.
  2. Click the All resources icon on the left panel, click the Table view icon.
  3. On the table view, click the ellipsis under Actions for the external S3 server row.
  4. Click the Delete option.
  5. Confirm the deletion of the external S3 object store.

Results

The external S3 object store is removed from the global namespace and the buckets and objects present on the external S3 server are no longer accessible from the global namespace. You are unable to manage the external S3 object store data by using Data Fabric.
