How to edit the bucket path for the Unity Catalog metastore when it is set up later
Registered on 2024/10 from AWS marketplace.
We have created a customer management VPC and manually created the workspace.
I create S3 for metastore storage from workspace external location creation and set S3 path from account console.

Is there any way to change the bucket path and associated credentials?

Here is what we have tried
I could not edit the bucket from an external location.
I was able to modify another IAM role credentials, though,
The metastore screen of the account console did not reflect the changed IAM role.

Hi @tyorisoo ,

Editing the Bucket Path for Unity Catalog Metastore

To edit the bucket path for the Unity Catalog metastore, follow these steps:

1. Prerequisites:

   • Ensure you have the necessary permissions to manage the metastore and the associated S3 bucket.

2. Update the S3 Path:

   • You cannot directly edit the bucket path from an external location. Instead, you need to update the metastore configuration.

3. Modify IAM Role Credentials:

   • If you need to change the IAM role credentials, you can do so, but ensure that the new IAM role has the necessary permissions to access the new S3 bucket path.

4. Update Metastore Configuration:

   • Use the Account Console or the Databricks API to update the metastore configuration with the new S3 bucket path and IAM role credentials.
