Modifying throughput capacity

You can modify your file system's throughput capacity using the Amazon FSx console, the Amazon Command Line Interface (Amazon CLI), or the Amazon FSx API, as described in the following procedures.

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

  2. Navigate to File systems, and choose the Windows file system that you want to increase the throughput capacity for.

  3. For Actions, choose Update throughput. Or, in the Summary panel, choose Update next to the file system's Throughput capacity.

    The Update throughput capacity window appears.

  4. Choose the new value for Throughput capacity from the list.

  5. Choose Update to initiate the throughput capacity update.

    Note

    Multi-AZ file systems fail over and fail back when updating throughput scaling, and are fully available. Single-AZ file systems experience a very brief period of unavailability during the update.

  6. You can monitor the update progress on the File systems detail page, in the Updates tab.

    You can monitor the progress of the update by using the Amazon FSx console, the Amazon CLI, and the API. For more information, see Monitoring throughput capacity changes.

To modify a file system's throughput capacity, use the Amazon CLI command update-file-system. Set the following parameters:

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

  • ThroughputCapacity to the desired value to update the file system to.
