CreateLocationFsxOntap

Creates a transfer location for an Amazon FSx for NetApp ONTAP 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 FSx for ONTAP 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.

Protocol

Specifies the data transfer protocol that AWS DataSync uses to access your Amazon FSx file system.

Type: FsxProtocol object

Required: Yes

SecurityGroupArns

Specifies the Amazon EC2 security groups that provide access to your file system's preferred subnet.

The security groups must allow outbound traffic on the following ports (depending on the protocol you use):

Network File System (NFS): TCP ports 111, 635, and 2049
Server Message Block (SMB): TCP port 445

Your file system's security groups must also allow inbound traffic on the same ports.

Type: Array of strings

Array Members: Minimum number of 1 item. Maximum number of 5 items.

Length Constraints: Maximum length of 128.

Pattern: ^arn:(aws|aws-cn|aws-us-gov|aws-iso|aws-iso-b):ec2:[a-z\-0-9]*:[0-9]{12}:security-group/sg-[a-f0-9]+$

Required: Yes

StorageVirtualMachineArn

Specifies the ARN of the storage virtual machine (SVM) in your file system where you want to copy data to or from.

Type: String

Length Constraints: Maximum length of 162.

Pattern: ^arn:(aws|aws-cn|aws-us-gov|aws-iso|aws-iso-b):fsx:[a-z\-0-9]+:[0-9]{12}:storage-virtual-machine/fs-[0-9a-f]+/svm-[0-9a-f]{17,}$

Required: Yes

Subdirectory

Specifies a path to the file share in the SVM where you'll copy your data.

You can specify a junction path (also known as a mount point), qtree path (for NFS file shares), or share name (for SMB file shares). For example, your mount path might be /vol1, /vol1/tree1, or /share1.

Note

Don't specify a junction path in the SVM's root volume. For more information, see Managing FSx for ONTAP storage virtual machines in the Amazon FSx for NetApp ONTAP User Guide.

Type: String

Length Constraints: Maximum length of 255.

Pattern: ^[^\u0000\u0085\u2028\u2029\r\n]{1,255}$

Required: No

Tags

Specifies labels that help you categorize, filter, and search for your AWS resources. We recommend creating at least 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

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}$
