Note

1 On a second-generation Single-AZ file system with 12 HA pairs (6,144 MBps per HA pair). For more information, see Managing high-availability (HA) pairs.

2 To provision 4 GBps of throughput capacity, your FSx for ONTAP first-generation file system requires a configuration of the maximum SSD IOPS (160,000) and a minimum of 5,120 GiB of SSD storage capacity in a supported AWS Region. For more information about which AWS Regions support 4,096 MBps of throughput capacity, see Impact of throughput capacity on performance.

3 You can store up to 1,023 snapshots per volume at any point in time. Once you reach this limit, you must delete an existing snapshot before a new snapshot of your volume can be created.

4 You can store up to 4,091 backups per volume at any point in time. Once you reach this limit, you must delete an existing backup before a new backup of your volume can be created.

5 You can configure up to 50 routes per file system at any point in time. Once you reach this limit, you must delete an existing route before a new route can be configured. The number of routes your file system has is determined by the number of SVMs it has and the number of route tables associated with it. You can determine the existing number of routes to a file system using the following equation: (1 + number of SVMs in the file system) * (route tables associated with the file system).
