    Note

    Your file system may experience a very brief period of unavailability during the update.

To modify a file system's throughput capacity (CLI)

  • To modify a file system's throughput capacity, use the update-file-system CLI command (or the equivalent UpdateFileSystem API operation). Set the following parameters:

    • Set --file-system-id to the ID of the file system that you are updating.

    • Set --lustre-configuration PerUnitStorageThroughput to a value of 50 100, or 200 MB/s/TiB for persistent SSD file systems.

    This command specifies that throughput capacity be set to 200 MB/s/TiB for the file system.
