Launching a Gateway
You can launch any of the three storage gateways on the appliance—file gateway, volume gateway
(cached), or tape gateway.
To launch a gateway on your hardware appliance
1. Sign in to the AWS Management Console and open the AWS Storage Gateway console at https://
console.amazonaws.cn/storagegateway/home.
2. Choose Hardware.
3. For Actions, choose Launch Gateway.
4. For Gateway Type, choose File Gateway, Tape Gateway, or Volume Gateway (Cached).
5. For Gateway name, enter a name for your gateway. Names can be 255 characters long and can't
include a slash character.
6. Choose Launch gateway.
The Storage Gateway software for your chosen gateway type installs on the appliance. It can take up to
5–10 minutes for a gateway to show up as online in the console.
To assign a static IP address to your installed gateway, you next configure the gateway's network
interfaces so your applications can use it.
