Response Elements

If the action is successful, the service sends back an HTTP 200 response.

The following data is returned in JSON format by the service.

Volume

Returned after a successful CreateVolume API operation, describing the volume just created.

Type: Volume object

Errors

For information about the errors that are common to all actions, see Common Errors.

BadRequest

A generic error indicating a failure with a client request.

HTTP Status Code: 400

FileSystemNotFound

No Amazon FSx file systems were found based upon supplied parameters.

Examples

Create an FSx for ONTAP storage volume

The following example creates a 100-GB storage volume with storage efficiency enabled, and a storage-tiering configuration with a 60-day cooling period with tiering of snapshots only.

{ "Name": "finance-volume1" "OntapConfiguration": { "JunctionPath": "/finance/vol1", "SizeInMegabytes": 102400, "StorageEfficiencyEnabled": true, "StorageVirtualMachineId": "svm-0123456789abcdef0", "TieringPolicy": { "CoolingPeriod": 60, "Name": "SNAPSHOT_ONLY" } }, "VolumeType": "ONTAP" }

Create an Amazon FSx for OpenZFS storage volume.

The following example creates a 100-GB storage volume with storage efficiency enabled, and a storage-tiering configuration with a 60-day cooling period with tiering of snapshots only.

{ "Name": "sales-vol1" "OpenZFSConfiguration": { "CopyTagsToSnapshots": true, "DataCompressionType": "LZ4", "NfsExports": [ { "ClientConfigurations": [ { "Clients": "*", "Options": [ "rw","root_squash","crossmnt" ] } ] } ], "OriginSnapshot": { "CopyStrategy": "CLONE", "SnapshotARN": "arn:aws:fsx:us-east-2:111122223333:snapshot/fsvol-0123456789abcdef0/fsvolsnap-1234567890abcdef0" }, "ParentVolumeId": "fsvol-abcdef01234567890", "ReadOnly": false, "RecordSizeKiB": 1024, "StorageCapacityQuotaGiB": 10000, "StorageCapacityReservationGiB": -1, "UserAndGroupQuotas": [ { "Id": 1004, "StorageCapacityQuotaGiB": 2000, "Type": "GROUP" } ] }
