YAML

Type: AWS::DataSync::LocationSMB

  AgentArns: 
    - String
  Domain: String
  MountOptions: 
    MountOptions
  Password: String
  ServerHostname: String
  Subdirectory: String
  Tags:

  User: String

Properties

AgentArns

The Amazon Resource Names (ARNs) of agents to use for a Server Message Block (SMB) location.

Required: Yes

Type: Array of String

Minimum: 1

Maximum: 128 | 4

Update requires: No interruption

Domain

Specifies the name of the Active Directory domain that your SMB file server belongs to.

If you have multiple Active Directory domains in your environment, configuring this parameter makes sure that DataSync connects to the right file server.

Required: No

Type: String

Pattern: ^([A-Za-z0-9]+[A-Za-z0-9-.]*)*[A-Za-z0-9-]*[A-Za-z0-9]$

Maximum: 253

Update requires: No interruption

MountOptions

Specifies the version of the SMB protocol that DataSync uses to access your SMB file server.

Required: No

Type: MountOptions

Update requires: No interruption

Password

The password of the user who can mount the share and has the permissions to access files and folders in the SMB share.

Required: No

Type: String

Pattern: ^.{0,104}$

Maximum: 104

Update requires: No interruption

ServerHostname

Specifies the Domain Name Service (DNS) name or IP address of the SMB file server that your DataSync agent will mount.

Note

You can't specify an IP version 6 (IPv6) address.

Required: No

Type: String

Pattern: ^(([a-zA-Z0-9\-]*[a-zA-Z0-9])\.)*([A-Za-z0-9\-]*[A-Za-z0-9])$

Maximum: 255

Update requires: Replacement

Subdirectory

The subdirectory in the SMB file system that is used to read data from the SMB source location or write data to the SMB destination. The SMB path should be a path that's exported by the SMB server, or a subdirectory of that path. The path should be such that it can be mounted by other SMB clients in your network.

Note

Subdirectory must be specified with forward slashes. For example, /path/to/folder.

To transfer all the data in the folder you specified, DataSync must have permissions to mount the SMB share, as well as to access all the data in that share. To ensure this, either make sure that the user name and password specified belongs to the user who can mount the share, and who has the appropriate permissions for all of the files and directories that you want DataSync to access, or use credentials of a member of the Backup Operators group to mount the share. Doing either one enables the agent to access the data. For the agent to access directories, you must additionally enable all execute access.

Required: No

Type: String

Pattern: ^[a-zA-Z0-9_\-\+\./\(\)\$\p{Zs}]+$

Maximum: 4096

Update requires: No interruption

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.

Required: No

Type: Array of Tag

Maximum: 50

Update requires: No interruption

User

The user who can mount the share and has the permissions to access files and folders in the SMB share.

For information about choosing a user name that ensures sufficient permissions to files, folders, and metadata, see user.

Required: Yes

Type: String

Pattern: ^[^\x5B\x5D\\/:;|=,+*?]{1,104}$

Maximum: 104

Update requires: No interruption

Return values

Ref

When you pass the logical ID of this resource to the intrinsic Ref function, Ref returns the location resource Amazon Resource Name (ARN). For example:

arn:aws:datasync:us-east-2:111222333444:location/loc-07db7abfc326c50s3

For more information about using the Ref function, see Ref.

Fn::GetAtt

The Fn::GetAtt intrinsic function returns a value for a specified attribute of this type. The following are the available attributes and sample return values.

For more information about using the Fn::GetAtt intrinsic function, see Fn::GetAtt.

LocationArn

The Amazon Resource Name (ARN) of the specified SMB file system.

LocationUri

The URI of the specified SMB location.

Examples

Create an SMB storage location for DataSync

The following example specifies an SMB storage location for DataSync. In this example, the SMB location uses the domain EXAMPLE with SMB version 3. The server hostname is [e-mail], and the SMB location is in the /share subdirectory. This example specifies the user ID user-1.
