CreateLocationEfs
Creates a transfer location for an Amazon EFS 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 Amazon EFS file systems.

Request Parameters
For information about the parameters that are common to all actions, see Common Parameters.
The request accepts the following data in JSON format.
- AccessPointArn
-
Specifies the Amazon Resource Name (ARN) of the access point that DataSync uses to mount your Amazon EFS file system.
For more information, see Accessing restricted file systems.
Type: String
Length Constraints: Maximum length of 128.
Pattern:
^arn:(aws|aws-cn|aws-us-gov|aws-iso|aws-iso-b):elasticfilesystem:[a-z\-0-9]+:[0-9]{12}:access-point/fsap-[0-9a-f]{8,40}$
Required: No
- Ec2Config
-
Specifies the subnet and security groups DataSync uses to connect to one of your Amazon EFS file system's mount targets.
Type: Ec2Config object
Required: Yes
- EfsFilesystemArn
-
Specifies the ARN for your Amazon EFS file system.
Type: String
Length Constraints: Maximum length of 128.
Pattern:
^arn:(aws|aws-cn|aws-us-gov|aws-iso|aws-iso-b):elasticfilesystem:[a-z\-0-9]*:[0-9]{12}:file-system/fs-.*$
Required: Yes
- FileSystemAccessRoleArn
-
Specifies an AWS Identity and Access Management (IAM) role that allows DataSync to access your Amazon EFS file system.
For information on creating this role, see Creating a DataSync IAM role for file system access.
Type: String
Length Constraints: Maximum length of 2048.
Pattern:
^arn:(aws|aws-cn|aws-us-gov|aws-iso|aws-iso-b):iam::[0-9]{12}:role/.*$
Required: No
- InTransitEncryption
-
Specifies whether you want DataSync to use Transport Layer Security (TLS) 1.2 encryption when it transfers data to or from your Amazon EFS file system.
If you specify an access point using
AccessPointArn
or an IAM role usingFileSystemAccessRoleArn
, you must set this parameter toTLS1_2
.Type: String
Valid Values:
NONE | TLS1_2
Required: No
- Subdirectory
-
Specifies a mount path for your Amazon EFS file system. This is where DataSync reads or writes data on your file system (depending on if this is a source or destination location).
By default, DataSync uses the root directory (or access point if you provide one by using
AccessPointArn
). You can also include subdirectories using forward slashes (for example,/path/to/folder
).Type: String
Length Constraints: Maximum length of 4096.
Pattern:
^[a-zA-Z0-9_\-\+\./\(\)\p{Zs}]*$
Required: No
- Tags
-
Specifies the key-value pair that represents a tag that you want to add to the resource. The value can be an empty string. This value helps you manage, filter, and search for your resources. We recommend that you create a name tag for your location.
Type: Array of TagListEntry objects
Array Members: Minimum number of 0 items. Maximum number of 50 items.
Required: No
Response Syntax
{
"LocationArn": "string"
}
Response Elements
If the action is successful, the service sends back an HTTP 200 response.
The following data is returned in JSON format by the service.
- LocationArn
-
The Amazon Resource Name (ARN) of the Amazon EFS file system location that you create.
Type: String
Length Constraints: Maximum length of 128.
Pattern:
^arn:(aws|aws-cn|aws-us-gov|aws-iso|aws-iso-b):datasync:[a-z\-0-9]+:[0-9]{12}:location/loc-[0-9a-z]{17}$
Errors
For information about the errors that are common to all actions, see Common Errors.
- InternalException
-
This exception is thrown when an error occurs in the AWS DataSync service.
HTTP Status Code: 500
- InvalidRequestException
-
This exception is thrown when the client submits a malformed request.
HTTP Status Code: 400
Examples
Sample Request
The following example creates a location for an Amazon EFS file system.
{ "Ec2Config": { "SubnetArn": "arn:aws:ec2:us-east-2:11122233344:subnet/subnet-1234567890abcdef1", "SecurityGroupArns": [ "arn:aws:ec2:us-east-2:11122233344:security-group/sg-1234567890abcdef2" ] }, "EfsFilesystemArn": "arn:aws:elasticfilesystem:us-east-2:111222333444:file-system/fs-021345abcdef6789", "Subdirectory": "/mount/path", "Tags": [{ "Key": "Name", "Value": "ElasticFileSystem-1" }] }
Sample Request: Creating a location for a restricted Amazon EFS file system
The following example creates a location for an Amazon EFS file system with
restricted access. In this kind of scenario, you might have to specify values for
AccessPointArn
, FileSystemAccessRoleArn
, and
InTransitEncryption
in your request.
{ "AccessPointArn": "arn:aws:elasticfilesystem:us-east-2:111222333444:access-point/fsap-1234567890abcdef0", "Ec2Config": { "SubnetArn": "arn:aws:ec2:us-east-2:111222333444:subnet/subnet-1234567890abcdef1", "SecurityGroupArns": [ "arn:aws:ec2:us-east-2:111222333444:security-group/sg-1234567890abcdef2" ] }, "FileSystemAccessRoleArn": "arn:aws:iam::111222333444:role/AwsDataSyncFullAccessNew", "InTransitEncryption": "TLS1_2", "LocationArn": "arn:aws:datasync:us-east-2:111222333444:location/loc-abcdef01234567890", "LocationUri": "efs://us-east-2.fs-021345abcdef6789/", "Subdirectory": "/mount/path", "Tags": [{ "Key": "Name", "Value": "ElasticFileSystem-1" }] }
Sample Response
A response returns the location ARN of the Amazon EFS file system.
{ "LocationArn": "arn:aws:datasync:us-east-2:111222333444:location/loc-12abcdef012345678" }
