Attaching an Amazon FSx file system

You must have an FSx for Windows File Server file system before you can attach it to an FSx File Gateway. If you don't have a file system, you must create one. For instructions, see Step 1: Create Your File System in the Amazon FSx for Windows File Server User Guide.

The next step is to activate an FSx File Gateway and configure your gateway to join an Active Directory domain. For instructions, see Configure Active Directory settings.

Note

When your gateway has joined a domain, you don't have to configure it to join the domain again.

Each gateway can support up to five attached file systems. For instructions on how to attach a file system, see Attach an Amazon FSx for Windows File Server file system.
