Hi, everyone, and welcome back.
Now, in today's video, we'll explore some of the important pointers related to increasing the storage
capacity.
Now, at a high level overview, whenever you increase the storage capacity of your F6 behind the scenes,
the Amazon F6 adds a new, larger set of disk to your file system, and then the F6 runs the storage
optimization process in the background to transparently migrate the data from old disk to new disk.
So if you have to look it from the diagrammatic perspective, it would look something similar to this.
So for example, in the step one, you have a storage capacity increase request to 800 GB.
So currently the storage size here is 200.
GB You have made a request to increase it to 800 GB So step two is that the PFS adds the new larger
disk.
So you have the 800 GB disk that is added, then the data is migrated to the larger disk and then the
smaller disks are removed.
So here are a few pointers that you need to keep a note of.
First one is that the storage optimisation can take between few hours and also few days.
However, it will have minimal noticeable impact on your overall workload performance.
Apart from that, one more point to note is that you can only increase the storage capacity, you cannot
decrease it and to increase the storage capacity for the FS for Windows file server system, you can
use the command of the update file system.
This will allow you to do that so you can also explore it from the GI perspective.
For example, the current storage capacity here is 100.
You can go ahead and specify the desired increase size in both the percentage as well as absolute.
So that's the high level overview and with this will conclude today's video.
