Create FSx shares
Amazon FSx works with Microsoft Active Directory (AD) to integrate with your existing Microsoft Windows environment. You must create an FSx share and choose an AD for user authentication and access control.
To create an FSx share:
-
Go to https://console.aws.amazon.com/fsx/ and select Create file system.
- In the Select file system type step, select Amazon FSx for Windows File Server and then select Next.
-
In the Specify file system details step, specify the file system details. See File system details for FSx.
Then, select Next.
-
In the Review and create step, verify your settings and select Create file system to start the creation of your FSx share.
Your FSx share status becomes CREATING. The expected creation time is 20-30 minutes. When the status is AVAILABLE, select the file system name to view the details.
You can now attach your FSx shares, see Attach your FSx shares to XProtect.
