Amazon File Cache maintenance windows - Amazon File Cache

Amazon File Cache maintenance windows

Amazon File Cache performs routine software patching for the Lustre software that it manages. The maintenance window is your opportunity to control what day and time of the week this software patching occurs.

Patching occurs infrequently, typically once every several weeks. Patching should require only a fraction of your 30-minute maintenance window. During these few minutes of time, your cache will be temporarily unavailable.

You choose the maintenance window during cache creation. If you have no time preference, then a 30-minute default window is assigned.

You can use the AWS Management Console, AWS Command Line Interface (AWS CLI), or one of the AWS SDKs to change the maintenance window for your caches.

To change the maintenance window using the console

  1. Open the AWS Management Console at https://console.aws.amazon.com/fsx/.

  2. Choose Caches in the navigation pane.

  3. Choose the cache that you want to change the maintenance window for. The Summary details page appears.

  4. Choose the Maintenance tab. The maintenance window Settings panel appears.

  5. Choose Update and enter the new day and time that you want the maintenance window to start.

  6. Choose Save to save your changes. The new maintenance start time is displayed in the Settings panel.

You can use the AWS CLI or one of the AWS SDKs to change the maintenance window for your cache using the UpdateFileCache operation.

Run the following command, replacing the --file-cache-id value with the ID for your cache, and the date and time with when you want to begin the window.

aws fsx update-file-cache --file-cache-id fc-01234567890123456 --lustre-configuration WeeklyMaintenanceStartTime=1:01:30
