SecurityGroupIds

A list of IDs specifying the security groups to apply to all network interfaces created for file system access. This list isn't returned in later requests to describe the file system.

You must specify a security group if you are creating a Multi-AZ FSx for ONTAP file system in a VPC subnet that has been shared with you.

Required: No

Type: Array of String

Maximum: 50

Update requires: Replacement

StorageCapacity

Sets the storage capacity of the file system that you're creating.

StorageCapacity is required if you are creating a new file system. It is not required if you are creating a file system by restoring a backup.

FSx for Lustre file systems - The amount of storage capacity that you can configure depends on the value that you set for StorageType and the Lustre DeploymentType, as follows:

  • For SCRATCH_2, PERSISTENT_2 and PERSISTENT_1 deployment types using SSD storage type, the valid values are 1200 GiB, 2400 GiB, and increments of 2400 GiB.

  • For PERSISTENT_1 HDD file systems, valid values are increments of 6000 GiB for 12 MB/s/TiB file systems and increments of 1800 GiB for 40 MB/s/TiB file systems.

  • For SCRATCH_1 deployment type, valid values are 1200 GiB, 2400 GiB, and increments of 3600 GiB.

FSx for ONTAP file systems - The amount of SSD storage capacity that you can configure depends on the value of the HAPairs property. The minimum value is calculated as 1,024 GiB * HAPairs and the maximum is calculated as 524,288 GiB * HAPairs, up to a maximum amount of SSD storage capacity of 1,048,576 GiB (1 pebibyte).

FSx for OpenZFS file systems - The amount of storage capacity that you can configure is from 64 GiB up to 524,288 GiB (512 TiB). If you are creating a file system from a backup, you can specify a storage capacity equal to or greater than the original file system's storage capacity.

FSx for Windows File Server file systems - The amount of storage capacity that you can configure depends on the value that you set for StorageType as follows:

  • For SSD storage, valid values are 32 GiB-65,536 GiB (64 TiB).

  • For HDD storage, valid values are 2000 GiB-65,536 GiB (64 TiB).

Required: Conditional

Type: Integer

Minimum: 0

Maximum: 2147483647

Update requires: No interruption

StorageType
