AWS gp3 volumes in AWS EKS

Add a gp3 drive

To add a gp3 drive, enter the pxctl service drive add command with the -s option, specifying the following:

• type=gp3
• size= with a size value
• iops= with your desired iops value

pxctl service drive add -s "type=gp3,size=200,iops=3500"

Adding drives may make storage offline for the duration of the operation.

Upgrade a gp2 drive to a gp3 drive

Perform the following steps to upgrade your existing AWS cloud drives from gp2 to gp3:

1. Find the EBS volume ID of the volume you want to convert by running the following pxctl clouddrive inspect command, specifying the --node-id of the node where your volume is attached:

   pxctl clouddrive inspect --node <px-node-id>

   Drive Set Configuration
   Number of drives in the Drive Set:  2
   NodeID:  xxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-987d406fbc14
   NodeIndex:  0
   InstanceID:  i-0ea9e24fe13f6e1b9
   Zone:  us-east-1b
   State:  In Use
   Labels:  map[]
   
   Drive  0
   	ID:  vol-0e67322e9bcccfacd
   	Type:  gp2
   	Size:  150 Gi
   	Iops:  450
   	Path:  /dev/nvme2n1
   	Used for:  kvdb
   
   Drive  1
   	ID:  vol-0b181a78f74d37ea5
   	Type:  gp2
   	Size:  500 Gi
   	Iops:  1500
   	Path:  /dev/nvme1n1
   	Used for:  data

2. Using the AWS CLI or AWS console, convert the volume type:

   aws ec2 modify-volume --volume-type gp3 --volume-id vol-0c0accbf72047052e
   {
       "VolumeModification": {
           "VolumeId": "vol-0c0accbf72047052e",
           "ModificationState": "modifying",
           "TargetSize": 150,
           "TargetIops": 3000,
           "TargetVolumeType": "gp3",
           "OriginalSize": 150,
           "OriginalIops": 450,
           "OriginalVolumeType": "gp2",
           "Progress": 0,
           "StartTime": "2021-06-29T10:52:43+00:00"
       }
   }

3. Once you've successfully converted the volume type, make the Portworx node aware of the volume type change by cycling it through maintenance mode:

   pxctl service maintenance --enter

   This is a disruptive operation, PX will restart in maintenance mode.
   Are you sure you want to proceed ? (Y/N): y
   Entering Maintenance mode...

   pxctl service maintenance --exit

   Exiting Maintenance mode...

   Repeat this process on all nodes where converted EBS volumes are attached.

4. Verify volume type in output of pxctl cd inspect --node <px node-id> command.

   pxctl clouddrive inspect --node xxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-987d406fbc14
