Automatically provision or manually provision SSD IOPS for an FSx for ONTAP file system.

About this task

You can enable automatic SSD IOPS provisioning for an FSx file system or manually provision IOPS.

Automatic provisioned IOPS are calculated as 3 IOPS per GiB.

If you manually provision IOPS, you may need to increase IOPS before you can increase file system capacity.

For IOPS limits, refer to Quotas in AWS FSx for NetApp ONTAP documentation.

Steps

  1. Log in to the the Workload Factory console.

  2. In Storage, click Go to Storage inventory.

  3. In the FSx for ONTAP tab, click the three dots menu of the file system to provision IOPS for and then select Manage.

  4. Under Information, click the pencil icon next to IOPS allocation. The pencil icon appears next to the dropdown arrow when the mouse hovers over the IOPS allocation row.

  5. In the Provisioned IOPS dialog, select Automatic or User provisioned.

  6. If you select User provisioned, enter the IOPS value.

  7. Click Apply.
