Apply an existing Auto Extend policy to a filesystem

This section describes how to apply an existing Auto Extend policy to one or more filesystems.

You can use the following methods to apply an existing Auto Extend policy to filesystems:

• To apply a policy to one filesystem at a time, use the Zesty platform.

• To apply a policy to multiple filesystems, use the AWS console.

Apply a policy to a single filesystem using the Zesty platform

1. From the Zesty platform, select Zesty Disk.
   In the Managed filesystems tab, filesystems that can be managed show the Select solution option.
    

2. By the filesystem that you want to extend, click Select solution, then in the Auto Extend Policy section, click Select policy.

3. In the Select an Auto Extend dialog, locate a policy to apply.
   You can change the sort order for the Policy name or Author columns.

4. Find the policy to apply, click Apply policy and then confirm.

The selected policy is applied to the filesystem.

Apply a policy to multiple filesystems using the AWS console

This section provides information needed to use the AWS console to apply a Zesty Disk Auto Extend policy to multiple filesystems.

When you apply an Auto Extend policy to a filesystem from the platform, Zesty Disk adds a tag to that filesystem. The tag is required to enable Zesty Disk to know which filesystems to manage.

A tag is made of these parts:

To add a policy to multiple filesystems, use the AWS console to add the generic tag key (“zesty:autoextend:policy_id”) and the tag value that is specific to that policy.

Note: Zesty collects AWS data on an hourly basis. It could take up to 2 hours for AWS-applied tags to be visible in the Zesty platform.
