Note
You can configure one or more local drives for your cache and upload buffer, up to the
maximum capacity.
When adding cache or upload buffer to an existing gateway, it's important to create new
disks in your host (hypervisor or Amazon EC2 instance). Don't change the size of existing
disks if the disks have been previously allocated as either a cache or upload buffer.
9. On the Step 5: Add Tags page, you can add an optional tag to your instance. Then choose Next:
Configure Security Group.
10. On the Configure Security Group page, add firewall rules to specific traffic to reach our instance.
You can create a new security group or choose an existing security group.
Important
Besides the Storage Gateway activation and Secure Shell (SSH) access ports, NFS clients
require access to additional ports. For detailed information, see Network and Firewall
Requirements (p. 12).
11. Choose Review and Launch to review your configuration.
12. On the Review Instance Launch page, choose Launch.
