Modifying throughput capacity

You can increase or decrease your file system's throughput capacity using the Amazon FSx console, the AWS Command Line Interface (AWS CLI), or the Amazon FSx API, as described in the following procedures.

To modify a file system's throughput capacity (console)

1. Open the Amazon FSx console at https://console.aws.amazon.com/fsx/.

2. Navigate to File systems, and choose the Windows file system that you want to increase the throughput capacity for.

3. For Actions, choose Update throughput.

   Or, in the Summary panel, choose Update next to the file system's Throughput capacity.

   The Update throughput capacity window appears.

4. Choose the new value for Throughput capacity from the list.

5. Choose Update to initiate the throughput capacity update.

   Note

   Multi-AZ file systems fail over and fail back when updating throughput scaling, and are fully available. Single-AZ file systems experience a very brief period of unavailability during the update.

6. You can monitor the update progress on the File systems detail page, in the Updates tab.

   You can monitor the progress of the update by using the Amazon FSx console, the AWS CLI, and the API. For more information, see Monitoring throughput capacity updates.

To modify a file system's throughput capacity (CLI)

To increase or decrease a file system's throughput capacity, use the AWS CLI command update-file-system. Set the following parameters:

• --file-system-id to the ID of the file system that you are updating.

• ThroughputCapacity to the desired value; valid values are 32, 64, 128, 256, 512, 1024, 2048, 4608, 6144, 9216, 12288 MBps.

You can monitor the progress of the update by using the Amazon FSx console, the AWS CLI, and the API. For more information, see Monitoring throughput capacity updates.
