Hi Graeme,
As for your first question, if you just want to try out S3, yes, you
should be able to remove your current NFS and add S3 to play with it. But
remember that by doing that, you cannot use old templates or volumes or
snapshots stored in your old NFS, only newly created objects will be in
your S3. If you still want to use your old NFS later, just remove S3, and
add that old NFS back.
In 4.2, CS didn't provide automatic way to migrate stuff in existing NFS
to S3. As I mentioned in previous email, this will be only available in
4.2.1, and migration object from NFS to S3 is done on demand, triggered by
extracting template/volume or copying template, please read the FS for
details.
Thanks
