I'm trying to find reference to the automated move between S3 and Glacier. As of current writing, in the most recent deployment guide, p27 says: > AltaVault appliances can only store data in one cloud storage target, so users must select S3 or Amazon Glacier when deploying an AltaVault appliance. As a result, a typical evaluation of a customer environment includes a discussion about whether S3 or Glacier is more appropriate as the cloud storage target for AltaVault appliance data.

There's some more good information in there - one of the things that might be confusing the support people is that there is the concept of "pre-population" requirements - after data is sent to glacier, it is a few hours, up to 24, before it is available for access, and we have some procedures around that.

I don't see it in our docs, but maybe the idea is to put it in S3 initially, then set a lifecycle policy in AWS to automatically move it to Glacier, per these instructions - https://aws.amazon.com/blogs/aws/archive-s3-to-glacier/ - but you'd want to check that solution with support (it's not my area)

Not sure exactly how you're trying to connect.

The NetApp serial port is RS-232. You need a console cable that has RJ-45 on one end, and DB-9 on the other. It's the same pinout as the Cisco serial cable. The RJ-45 end plugs into the console port on the filer, and the DB-9 end is for your laptop.

Now, most computers these days don't have a hardware serial port, so you'll need a serial-to-USB adapter, something like this. This is the device you'll need drivers for.

Check the mgf part number in HWU.

but looks like you can get "netapp" ones off amazon - https://www.amazon.com/NetApp-QSFP-QSFP-External-Cable-112-00176/dp/B013PYNMNE

That said, I was doing an onsite install a while back (a300s) and at one site for some reason they (customers) lost the mini hd cables.

I had a set from an IBM array i'd worked on previous in my truck so used those in a pinch. Was a bit cranky, i was able to get the correct ones in 2 days though and switched them out.

You could try RepACLs or Microsoft's SubInACL to migrate your users

As power consumption is an important question in this project, decided to disconnect an IOM6 and use only 1, so only 1 of these cables:

This DS4246 is mainly for farming Chia (as in crypto). Half of the rack is already filled with 10-12TB HDDs, the rest are the new 18TBs. But already looking to buy a new one, either another DS4246 or going with the cheaper DS4243 and seeing if I can indeed upgrade with the unused IOM6 (note, officially not supported!)

If you already have a USB to Serial adapter just get a USB-A to mini adapter, they probably even have one at your local microcenter/frys/whatever:

You could temporarily connect it to a PC running Linux and use the utility badblocks to wipe the disks.

You don't mention which shelf you have but I used one of these to connect to a DS4243 :
