Creating a gateway on your hardware appliance

You can create an S3 File Gateway, FSx File Gateway, Tape Gateway, or Volume Gateway on any Amazon Storage Gateway Hardware Appliance in your deployment.

To create a gateway on your hardware appliance

  1. Sign in to the Amazon Web Services Management Console and open the Storage Gateway console at https://console.amazonaws.cn/storagegateway/home.

  2. Follow the procedures described in Creating Your Gateway to set up, connect, and configure the type of Storage Gateway that you want to deploy.

When you finish creating your gateway in the Storage Gateway console, the Storage Gateway software automatically starts installing on the hardware appliance. If you use Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP), it can take 5 to 10 minutes for a gateway to display as online in the console. To assign a static IP address to your installed gateway, see Configuring an IP address for the gateway.

To assign a static IP address to your installed gateway, you next configure the gateway's network interfaces so your applications can use it.
