Modifying throughput capacity

You can modify a file system's throughput capacity using the Amazon FSx console, the Amazon Command Line Interface (Amazon CLI), or the Amazon FSx API.

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

  1. Open the Amazon FSx console at https://console.amazonaws.cn/fsx/.

  2. Navigate to File systems, and choose the FSx for Lustre file system that you want to modify the throughput capacity for.

  3. For Actions, choose Update throughput tier. Or, in the Summary panel, choose Update next to the file system's Throughput per unit of storage.

    The Update throughput tier window appears.

  4. Choose the new value for Desired throughput per unit of storage from the list.

  5. Choose Update to initiate the throughput capacity update.

    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.

    aws fsx update-file-system \
    --file-system-id fs-0123456789abcdef0 \
    --lustre-configuration PerUnitStorageThroughput=200
