I can not delete bucket on ONTAP 9.8

Dear All

Best wishes for a Happy New Year

I have on question.

I I'm testing for ONTAP S3.

During testing, I found that the bucket was not erased.

Created through GUI in 9.8RC1, I deleted it, but it was not deleted

So, I upgraded to 9.8 GA and supported it again, but it is not being erased.

Create a bucket with cli and delete it, and it works.

Please help.

I was unable to recreate the same circumstance.

1. created vserver and bucket via GUI

2. used cli to delete bucket (no data in bucket).

3. created new bucket and filled with random data.

4. using "-skip-bucket-empty-check true", I was able to successfully delete the bucket from diag privilege.

It may help to know the circumstances surrounding the creation of the bucket and its usage.

Dear aladd

Thank you for reply and test.

I also continued testing today.
As you said, it works.

What I've checked so far...

When I create a bucket, the information is shown in the Application show command.
However, buckets that are not currently erased are not visible in the application show.
The link in this part seems to be broken.
(So it doesn't seem to be erased.)

Also, we are checking because we do not know the meaning of Application.

Hello @sdyoon

applications group storage objects in this instance. this command is also depreciated in ONTAP 9.8.

You can get additional information about the application type from the command "application show -instance"

For example:

cluster1::*> application show -instance

Vserver: svm0
Application: test
Application State: online
Application Template: S3Bucket
Application Template Version: 1
Application UUID: b62b6925-4fec-11eb-9bf9-005056b78a74
Application Version: 2
Application Class: smartContainer
Application Protection Granularity: application
Creation Time: Wed Jan 06 06:59:25 2021
Vserver UUID: 61564a7b-4feb-11eb-9bf9-005056b78a74

It also may be a bug. I found an internal bug regarding this. Do you have a case open? If so I'll update the case with my findings.

Dear paul stejskal

Thank you for information.

I haven't opened the case.

Currently, it is in the test lab.

So I will check again after applying ONTAP 9.8 PAtch later.

Thank you for the really good information.
