AWS Storage Gateway User Guide
Creating a Gateway
1. To complete the activation process, provide information on the activation page to configure your
gateway setting:
• Gateway Time Zone specifies the time zone to use for your gateway.
• Gateway Name identifies your gateway. You use this name to manage your gateway in the
console; you can change it after the gateway is activated. This name must be unique to your
account.
The following screenshot shows the activation page for a file gateway.
2. AWS Region specifies the AWS Region where your gateway will be activated and where your data
will be stored. If Endpoint type is VPC, the AWS Region should be same as the Region where your
VPC Endpoint is located.
3. Choose Activate gateway.
4. If activation is not successful, see Troubleshooting Your Gateway (p. 316) for possible solutions.
Configuring Local Disks
When you deployed the VM, you allocated local disks for your gateway. Now you configure your gateway
to use these disks.
To configure local disks
1. On the Configure local disks page, identify the disks you added and decide which ones you want
to allocate for cached storage. For information about disk size limits, see Recommended Local Disk
Sizes For Your Gateway (p. 397).
