# CreateLocationFsxOntap
<a name="API_CreateLocationFsxOntap"></a>

Creates a transfer *location* for an Amazon FSx for NetApp ONTAP file system. AWS DataSync can use this location as a source or destination for transferring data.

Before you begin, make sure that you understand how DataSync [accesses FSx for ONTAP file systems](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/datasync/latest/userguide/create-ontap-location.html#create-ontap-location-access).

## Request Parameters
<a name="API_CreateLocationFsxOntap_RequestParameters"></a>

For information about the parameters that are common to all actions, see [Common Parameters](CommonParameters.md).

The request accepts the following data in JSON format.

 ** [Protocol](#API_CreateLocationFsxOntap_RequestSyntax) **   <a name="DataSync-CreateLocationFsxOntap-request-Protocol"></a>
Specifies the data transfer protocol that AWS DataSync uses to access your Amazon FSx file system.  
Type: [FsxProtocol](API_FsxProtocol.md) object  
Required: Yes

 ** [SecurityGroupArns](#API_CreateLocationFsxOntap_RequestSyntax) **   <a name="DataSync-CreateLocationFsxOntap-request-SecurityGroupArns"></a>
Specifies the Amazon EC2 security groups that provide access to your file system's preferred subnet.  
The security groups must allow outbound traffic on the following ports (depending on the protocol you use):  
+  **Network File System (NFS)**: TCP ports 111, 635, and 2049
+  **Server Message Block (SMB)**: TCP port 445
Your file system's security groups must also allow inbound traffic on the same ports.  
Type: Array of strings  
Array Members: Minimum number of 1 item. Maximum number of 5 items.  
Length Constraints: Maximum length of 128.  
Pattern: `^arn:(aws|aws-cn|aws-us-gov|aws-eusc|aws-iso|aws-iso-b):ec2:[a-z\-0-9]*:[0-9]{12}:security-group/sg-[a-f0-9]+$`   
Required: Yes

 ** [StorageVirtualMachineArn](#API_CreateLocationFsxOntap_RequestSyntax) **   <a name="DataSync-CreateLocationFsxOntap-request-StorageVirtualMachineArn"></a>
Specifies the ARN of the storage virtual machine (SVM) in your file system where you want to copy data to or from.  
Type: String  
Length Constraints: Maximum length of 162.  
Pattern: `^arn:(aws|aws-cn|aws-us-gov|aws-eusc|aws-iso|aws-iso-b):fsx:[a-z\-0-9]+:[0-9]{12}:storage-virtual-machine/fs-[0-9a-f]+/svm-[0-9a-f]{17,}$`   
Required: Yes

 ** [Subdirectory](#API_CreateLocationFsxOntap_RequestSyntax) **   <a name="DataSync-CreateLocationFsxOntap-request-Subdirectory"></a>
Specifies a path to the file share in the SVM where you want to transfer data to or from.  
You can specify a junction path (also known as a mount point), qtree path (for NFS file shares), or share name (for SMB file shares). For example, your mount path might be `/vol1`, `/vol1/tree1`, or `/share1`.  
Don't specify a junction path in the SVM's root volume. For more information, see [Managing FSx for ONTAP storage virtual machines](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/fsx/latest/ONTAPGuide/managing-svms.html) in the *Amazon FSx for NetApp ONTAP User Guide*.
Type: String  
Length Constraints: Maximum length of 255.  
Pattern: `^[^\u0000\u0085\u2028\u2029\r\n]{1,255}$`   
Required: No

 ** [Tags](#API_CreateLocationFsxOntap_RequestSyntax) **   <a name="DataSync-CreateLocationFsxOntap-request-Tags"></a>
Specifies labels that help you categorize, filter, and search for your AWS resources. We recommend creating at least a name tag for your location.  
Type: Array of [TagListEntry](API_TagListEntry.md) objects  
Array Members: Minimum number of 0 items. Maximum number of 50 items.  
Required: No

Type: String  
Length Constraints: Maximum length of 128.  
Pattern: `^arn:(aws|aws-cn|aws-us-gov|aws-eusc|aws-iso|aws-iso-b):datasync:[a-z\-0-9]+:[0-9]{12}:location/loc-[0-9a-z]{17}$`
