Isilon S3 buckets limitation
Hi all,
We are excited about using the S3 bucket option instead of SMB on the Isilon (PowerScale 8 nodes 25GbE) for our Veeam backups, but we have a question about the limitations. The details below were extracted from the technical guide.
- For the maximum 1 million object limit – is that referring to child folders and all recursive folders under the root bucket?
Root bucket (no limitation?)
|___child folder 1 (1 million limit?)
| |____sub-folder 1 (1 million limit?)
|___child folder 2 (1 million limit?)
- For the maximum object size (aka file size), which limit applies to us? The 4TB or 16TB (specific PowerScale hardware configuration)?

Hello gujumax99,
Which Isilon or Powerscale system do you have as you didn’t list it in your post.

A200 8 nodes cluster. Also, can I use SyncIQ to copy data from a NO WORM folder on one PowerScale cluster over to another PowerScale cluster with SmartLock enabled on the destination path?

Hello gujumax99,
It is best for you to open a support case so that we can get some more detail as to what you are trying to achieve with your configuration.

Its a recommendation to not have more than 1million files per DIR I believe, but not an actual technical limitation, as I have DIRs just over that limit, but utilising SMB/NFS rather than S3. Veeam does generate a staggering amount of tiny files via S3 so that might be more overhead.
