Manually adjust the solid-state drive (SSD) storage capacity of an FSx for ONTAP file system to meet the needs of your project-based workloads with varying active working sets.
Increase SSD storage capacity when usage exceeds your specified threshold. Reduce SSD storage capacity when you are not using the working sets to save money.
Alternatively, you can enable automatic capacity management so Workload Factory manages file system capacity for you.
|
Decreasing SSD storage capacity is only supported for second-generation file systems. |
With elastic file system capacity, you can dynamically adjust the capacity of your file systems to match the needs of your workloads.
Changing file system capacity impacts IOPS for your FSx for ONTAP file system.
When you automatically provision IOPS for a file system, IOPS increases or decreases by 3 IOPS with every 1 GiB increase or decrease 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 adjust capacity for a file system, you must first disable automatic capacity management.
