Manually increase the SSD storage capacity of an FSx for ONTAP file system when the amount of used SSD storage capacity exceeds a threshold that you specify.
Alternatively, you can enable the automatic capacity management feature so workload factory manages file system capacity for you.
Increasing file system capacity impacts IOPS for your FSx for ONTAP file system.
When you automatically provision IOPS for a file system, IOPS increases by 3 IOPS with every 1 GiB increase in SSD capacity.
When you provision IOPS manually, you might need to increase your IOPS allocation to support the increased file system capacity.
For SSD storage capacity limits, refer to Quotas in AWS FSx for NetApp ONTAP documentation.
To increase capacity for a file system, you must first disable automatic capacity management.
