Increasing storage capacity

Open the Amazon FSx console at https://console.aws.amazon.com/fsx/.

Navigate to File systems, and choose the Lustre file system that you want to increase storage capacity for.

For Actions, choose Update storage capacity. Or, in the Summary panel, choose Update next to the file system's Storage capacity to display the Increase storage capacity dialog box.

For Desired storage capacity, provide a new storage capacity in GiB that is greater than the current storage capacity of the file system:

Choose Update to initiate the storage capacity update.

You can monitor the update progress on the file systems detail page in the Updates tab.

To increase the storage capacity for an FSx for Lustre file system, use the AWS CLI command update-file-system. Set the following parameters:

Set --file-system-id to the ID of the file system you are updating.

Set --storage-capacity to an integer value that is the amount, in GiB, of the storage capacity increase. For a persistent SSD or scratch 2 file system, this value must be in multiples of 2400. For a persistent HDD file system, this value must be in multiples of 6000 for 12 MB/s/TiB file systems and multiples of 1800 for 40 MB/s/TiB file systems. The new target value must be greater than the current storage capacity of the file system.

This command specifies a storage capacity target value of 9600 GiB for a persistent SSD or scratch 2 file system.

$ aws fsx update-file-system \
    --file-system-id fs-0123456789abcdef0 \
    --storage-capacity 9600

You can monitor the progress of the update by using the AWS CLI command describe-file-systems. Look for the administrative-actions in the output.
