TieringPolicy - Amazon FSx

TieringPolicy

Describes the data tiering policy for an ONTAP volume. When enabled, Amazon FSx for ONTAP's intelligent tiering automatically transitions a volume's data between the file system's primary storage and capacity pool storage based on your access patterns.

Valid tiering policies are the following:

  • SNAPSHOT_ONLY - (Default value) moves cold snapshots to the capacity pool storage tier.

  • AUTO - moves cold user data and snapshots to the capacity pool storage tier based on your access patterns.

  • ALL - moves all user data blocks in both the active file system and Snapshot copies to the storage pool tier.

  • NONE - keeps a volume's data in the primary storage tier, preventing it from being moved to the capacity pool tier.
