Automatically provision or manually provision SSD IOPS for an FSx for ONTAP file system in BlueXP workload factory.

About this task

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

Automatically provisioned IOPS are calculated as 3 IOPS per GiB.

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

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

Steps

  1. Log in using one of the console experiences.

  2. In Storage, select Go to Storage inventory.

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

  4. Under Information, select the pencil icon that 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 desired IOPS value.

  7. Select Apply.
