Monitoring storage type updates
After you update your file system's storage type from HDD to SSD storage, you can monitor the progress of the storage type update using the Amazon FSx console, the AWS CLI, or the API, as described in the following procedures.
On the Updates tab in the File system details window, you can view the 10 most recent updates for each update type.
For storage type updates, you can view the following information.
- Update type
-
Possible value is Storage type.
- Target value
-
SSD
- Status
-
The current status of the update. For storage type updates, the possible values are as follows:
Pending – Amazon FSx received the update request, but has not started processing it.
In progress – Amazon FSx is processing the update request.
Updated optimizing – The SSD storage performance is available for write operations. The update enters an Updated optimizing state, which typically lasts a few hours, during which read operations will have performance levels between HDD and SSD. Once your update action is complete, your new SSD performance is available for both reads and writes.
Completed – The storage type update completed successfully.
Failed – The storage type update failed. Choose the question mark (?) to see details.
- Progress %
-
Displays the progress of the storage optimization process by the percentage that's complete.
- Request time
-
The time that Amazon FSx received the update action request.
You can view and monitor file system storage type update requests using the describe-file-systems AWS CLI command and the DescribeFileSystems API action. The AdministrativeActions
array lists the 10 most recent update actions for each administrative action type. When you increase a file system's SSD IOPS, two
AdministrativeActions are generated: a
FILE_SYSTEM_UPDATE and a STORAGE_TYPE_OPTIMIZATION action.
