For the AWS S3-supported NAS device, you must add a NAS share which is the name of the S3 bucket.
This article describes how to auto-discover S3 buckets and manually add them in the Management Console.
Auto-discover S3 buckets
An automatic discovery gets triggered for AWS S3 buckets for the device added as S3. AWS S3 buckets auto-discovery is particularly useful when an AWS account has a large number of S3 buckets. You can still add S3 buckets manually if required.
Procedure
From All Devices page
Log in to the Management Console.
Select the workload from the Protect menu. Note that if the All Organizations menu is enabled, you have to first select an organization that has your NAS device and then select the workload.
In the left pane, click All Devices.
In the right pane, select the device whose S3 buckets you want to discover, click on more options, and click Discover Shares. You can also click the Refresh icon to initiate a S3 buckets auto-discovery.
From the NAS shares page
Log in to the Management Console.
Select the workload from the Protect menu. Note that if the All Organizations menu is enabled, you have to first select an organization that has your NAS device and then select the workload.
In the device-specific navigation pane on the left, select the NAS device from the DEVICE drop-down list.
On the NAS Shares page, in the right pane, click the Refresh icon to initiate a S3 buckets auto-discovery and update the NAS Shares page with the latest discovered S3 buckets.
Add an S3 bucket manually
Log in to the Management Console.
Select the workload from the Protect menu. Note that if the All Organizations menu is enabled, you have to first select an organization that has your NAS device and then select the workload.
In the device-specific navigation pane on the left, select the NAS device that has NAS shares (S3 buckets) you want to add.
