PowerScale OneFS 9.2.1.0 CloudPools Administration Guide

Create exclusive accounts for CloudPools purposes

You should create an account with your cloud provider that is exclusively for CloudPools use. This prevents conflicts that might lead to data corruption or loss.

If your organization accesses cloud provider accounts outside of OneFS CloudPools operation, users must be careful not to in any way access or change data archived by CloudPools. Any such data access or modification would likely corrupt the data and compromise data retrieval and recall from CloudPools.

To prevent this, create an account in CloudPools that is exclusively for CloudPools use. Use entirely separate accounts for other cloud applications with your cloud provider.
