Customer with A220 (performance tier) and FAS2720 (capacity tier). Both data-aggregates on the A220 are linked to object-store on the FAS2720.
Idea is to remove the object-store as tiering is no longer needed. Steps planned:

  1. change tiering-policy to none and cloud-retrieval-policy to promote on volumes
  2. trigger volume object-store tiering to recall all data back to A220
  3. vol move all volumes to aggregate of node2
  4. offline/delete empty aggregate of node1
  5. re-create aggregate on node1 and do not link to object-store
  6. vol move all volumes to aggregate on node1
  7. offline/delete empty aggregate of node2
  8. re-create aggregate on node2 and do not link to object-store
  9. delete object-store config

Problem is that not all data is recalled in step2. Few GB's remain in the "cloud-tier". Many TB's have been recalled. I know the process can take time but the numbers have not changed in the last 4 days.

Any idea?

PS. ONTAP version is not recent, 9.10.1. Plan to upgrade after above actities

it does not really matter. As soon as you move the volume to a different aggregate that has no object store tier (i.e. step 6 in your list), the full data is fetched from the object store

Ok, thanks...I was worried the vol move might not start or finish with data still in the object-store
