Creating continuously available (CA) share
You can create continuously available (CA) shares
using the Amazon FSx CLI for Remote Management on PowerShell.
CA shares created on an FSx for Windows File Server Multi-AZ file system are highly durable and highly available.
An Amazon FSx Single-AZ file system is built on a single node cluster. As a result, CA shares created on a
Single-AZ file system are highly durable, but are not highly available.
Use the New-FSxSmbShare
command with the -ContinuouslyAvailable
option set to $True
to specify
that the share is a continuously available share. The following is an example command to create a CA share.
New-FSxSmbShare -Name "New CA Share" -Path "D:\share\new-share" -Description "CA share" -ContinuouslyAvailable $True
You can modify the -ContinuouslyAvailable
option on an existing file share using the Set-FSxSmbShare
command.
