# CreateLocationFsxLustre
<a name="API_CreateLocationFsxLustre"></a>

Creates a transfer *location* for an Amazon FSx for Lustre file system. AWS DataSync can use this location as a source or destination for transferring data.

Before you begin, make sure that you understand how DataSync [accesses FSx for Lustre file systems](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/datasync/latest/userguide/create-lustre-location.html#create-lustre-location-access).

## Request Parameters
<a name="API_CreateLocationFsxLustre_RequestParameters"></a>

For information about the parameters that are common to all actions, see [Common Parameters](CommonParameters.md).

The request accepts the following data in JSON format.

 ** [FsxFilesystemArn](#API_CreateLocationFsxLustre_RequestSyntax) **   <a name="DataSync-CreateLocationFsxLustre-request-FsxFilesystemArn"></a>
Specifies the Amazon Resource Name (ARN) of the FSx for Lustre file system.  
Type: String  
Length Constraints: Maximum length of 128.  
Pattern: `^arn:(aws|aws-cn|aws-us-gov|aws-eusc|aws-iso|aws-iso-b):fsx:[a-z\-0-9]+:[0-9]{12}:file-system/fs-[0-9a-f]+$`   
Required: Yes

 ** [SecurityGroupArns](#API_CreateLocationFsxLustre_RequestSyntax) **   <a name="DataSync-CreateLocationFsxLustre-request-SecurityGroupArns"></a>
Specifies the Amazon Resource Names (ARNs) of up to five security groups that provide access to your FSx for Lustre file system.  
The security groups must be able to access the file system's ports. The file system must also allow access from the security groups. For information about file system access, see the [https://docs.aws.amazon.com/fsx/latest/LustreGuide/limit-access-security-groups.html](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/fsx/latest/LustreGuide/limit-access-security-groups.html).  
Type: Array of strings  
Array Members: Minimum number of 1 item. Maximum number of 5 items.  
Length Constraints: Maximum length of 128.  
Pattern: `^arn:(aws|aws-cn|aws-us-gov|aws-eusc|aws-iso|aws-iso-b):ec2:[a-z\-0-9]*:[0-9]{12}:security-group/sg-[a-f0-9]+$`   
Required: Yes

 ** [Subdirectory](#API_CreateLocationFsxLustre_RequestSyntax) **   <a name="DataSync-CreateLocationFsxLustre-request-Subdirectory"></a>
Specifies a mount path for your FSx for Lustre file system. The path can include subdirectories.  
When the location is used as a source, DataSync reads data from the mount path. When the location is used as a destination, DataSync writes data to the mount path. If you don't include this parameter, DataSync uses the file system's root directory (`/`).  
Type: String  
Length Constraints: Maximum length of 4096.  
Pattern: `^[a-zA-Z0-9_\-\+\./\(\)\$\p{Zs}]+$`
