AWS Storage Gateway Service

AWS Storage Gateway is the service that connects an on-premises software appliance with cloud-based storage to provide seamless and secure integration between an organization’s on-premises IT environment and AWS’s storage infrastructure. The service enables you to securely upload data to the AWS cloud for cost effective backup and rapid disaster recovery.

Use the following links to get started using the AWS Storage Gateway Service API Reference:

  • [AWS Storage Gateway Required Request Headers](http://docs.aws.amazon.com/storagegateway/latest/userguide/AWSStorageGatewayAPI.html#AWSStorageGatewayHTTPRequestsHeaders): Describes the required headers that you must send with every POST request to AWS Storage Gateway.
  • [Signing Requests](http://docs.aws.amazon.com/storagegateway/latest/userguide/AWSStorageGatewayAPI.html#AWSStorageGatewaySigningRequests): AWS Storage Gateway requires that you authenticate every request you send; this topic describes how sign such a request.
  • [Error Responses](http://docs.aws.amazon.com/storagegateway/latest/userguide/AWSStorageGatewayAPI.html#APIErrorResponses): Provides reference information about AWS Storage Gateway errors.
  • [Operations in AWS Storage Gateway](http://docs.aws.amazon.com/storagegateway/latest/APIReference/API_Operations.html): Contains detailed descriptions of all AWS Storage Gateway operations, their request parameters, response elements, possible errors, and examples of requests and responses.
  • [AWS Storage Gateway Regions and Endpoints:](http://docs.aws.amazon.com/general/latest/gr/rande.html#sg_region) Provides a list of each region and endpoints available for use with AWS Storage Gateway.
AWS Storage Gateway resource IDs are in uppercase. When you use these resource IDs with the Amazon EC2 API, EC2 expects resource IDs in lowercase. You must change your resource ID to lowercase to use it with the EC2 API. For example, in Storage Gateway the ID for a volume might be `vol-AA22BB012345DAF670`. When you use this ID with the EC2 API, you must change it to `vol-aa22bb012345daf670`. Otherwise, the EC2 API might not behave as expected. IDs for Storage Gateway volumes and Amazon EBS snapshots created from gateway volumes are changing to a longer format. Starting in December 2016, all new volumes and snapshots will be created with a 17-character string. Starting in April 2016, you will be able to use these longer IDs so you can test your systems with the new format. For more information, see [Longer EC2 and EBS Resource IDs](https://aws.amazon.com/ec2/faqs/#longer-ids). For example, a volume Amazon Resource Name (ARN) with the longer volume ID format looks like the following: `arn:aws:storagegateway:us-west-2:111122223333:gateway/sgw-12A3456B/volume/vol-1122AABBCCDDEEFFG`. A snapshot ID with the longer ID format looks like the following: `snap-78e226633445566ee`. For more information, see [Announcement: Heads-up – Longer AWS Storage Gateway volume and snapshot IDs coming in 2016](https://forums.aws.amazon.com/ann.jspa?annID=3557).

A volume recovery point is a point in time at which all data of the volume is consistent and from which you can create a snapshot or clone a new cached volume from a source volume. To create a snapshot from a volume recovery point use the CreateSnapshotFromVolumeRecoveryPoint operation.

Link to this function list_volumes(input \\ %{}, options \\ [])

Lists the iSCSI stored volumes of a gateway. Results are sorted by volume ARN. The response includes only the volume ARNs. If you want additional volume information, use the DescribeStorediSCSIVolumes or the DescribeCachediSCSIVolumes API.

The operation supports pagination. By default, the operation returns a maximum of up to 100 volumes. You can optionally specify the Limit field in the body to limit the number of volumes in the response. If the number of volumes returned in the response is truncated, the response includes a Marker field. You can use this Marker value in your subsequent request to retrieve the next set of volumes. This operation is only supported in the cached volume and stored volume gateway architectures.

Link to this function refresh_cache(input \\ %{}, options \\ [])

Refreshes the cache for the specified file share. This operation finds objects in the Amazon S3 bucket that were added, removed or replaced since the gateway last listed the bucket’s contents and cached the results.

Link to this function remove_tags_from_resource(input \\ %{}, options \\ [])

Removes one or more tags from the specified resource. This operation is only supported in the cached volume, stored volume and tape gateway architectures.

Link to this function reset_cache(input \\ %{}, options \\ [])

Resets all cache disks that have encountered a error and makes the disks available for reconfiguration as cache storage. If your cache disk encounters a error, the gateway prevents read and write operations on virtual tapes in the gateway. For example, an error can occur when a disk is corrupted or removed from the gateway. When a cache is reset, the gateway loses its cache storage. At this point you can reconfigure the disks as cache disks. This operation is only supported in the cached volume,tape and file gateway architectures.

If the cache disk you are resetting contains data that has not been uploaded to Amazon S3 yet, that data can be lost. After you reset cache disks, there will be no configured cache disks left in the gateway, so you must configure at least one new cache disk for your gateway to function properly.
Link to this function retrieve_tape_archive(input \\ %{}, options \\ [])

Retrieves an archived virtual tape from the virtual tape shelf (VTS) to a tape gateway. Virtual tapes archived in the VTS are not associated with any gateway. However after a tape is retrieved, it is associated with a gateway, even though it is also listed in the VTS, that is, archive. This operation is only supported in the tape gateway architecture.

Once a tape is successfully retrieved to a gateway, it cannot be retrieved again to another gateway. You must archive the tape again before you can retrieve it to another gateway. This operation is only supported in the tape gateway architecture.

Link to this function retrieve_tape_recovery_point(input \\ %{}, options \\ [])

Retrieves the recovery point for the specified virtual tape. This operation is only supported in the tape gateway architecture.

A recovery point is a point in time view of a virtual tape at which all the data on the tape is consistent. If your gateway crashes, virtual tapes that have recovery points can be recovered to a new gateway.

The virtual tape can be retrieved to only one gateway. The retrieved tape is read-only. The virtual tape can be retrieved to only a tape gateway. There is no charge for retrieving recovery points.
Link to this function set_local_console_password(input \\ %{}, options \\ [])

Sets the password for your VM local console. When you log in to the local console for the first time, you log in to the VM with the default credentials. We recommend that you set a new password. You don’t need to know the default password to set a new password.

Link to this function shutdown_gateway(input \\ %{}, options \\ [])

Shuts down a gateway. To specify which gateway to shut down, use the Amazon Resource Name (ARN) of the gateway in the body of your request.

The operation shuts down the gateway service component running in the gateway’s virtual machine (VM) and not the host VM.

If you want to shut down the VM, it is recommended that you first shut down the gateway component in the VM to avoid unpredictable conditions. After the gateway is shutdown, you cannot call any other API except

StartGateway, DescribeGatewayInformation, and ListGateways. For more information, see ActivateGateway. Your applications cannot read from or write to the gateway’s storage volumes, and there are no snapshots taken.

When you make a shutdown request, you will get a `200 OK` success response immediately. However, it might take some time for the gateway to shut down. You can call the `DescribeGatewayInformation` API to check the status. For more information, see `ActivateGateway`. If do not intend to use the gateway again, you must delete the

gateway (using DeleteGateway) to no longer pay software charges associated with the gateway.

Link to this function start_gateway(input \\ %{}, options \\ [])

Starts a gateway that you previously shut down (see ShutdownGateway). After the gateway starts, you can then make other API calls, your applications can read from or write to the gateway’s storage volumes and you will be able to take snapshot backups.

When you make a request, you will get a 200 OK success response immediately. However, it might take some time for the gateway to be ready. You should call `DescribeGatewayInformation` and check the status before making any additional API calls. For more information, see `ActivateGateway`. To specify which gateway to start, use the Amazon Resource Name

(ARN) of the gateway in your request.

Link to this function update_bandwidth_rate_limit(input \\ %{}, options \\ [])

Updates the bandwidth rate limits of a gateway. You can update both the upload and download bandwidth rate limit or specify only one of the two. If you don’t set a bandwidth rate limit, the existing rate limit remains.

By default, a gateway’s bandwidth rate limits are not set. If you don’t set any limit, the gateway does not have any limitations on its bandwidth usage and could potentially use the maximum available bandwidth.

To specify which gateway to update, use the Amazon Resource Name (ARN) of the gateway in your request.

Link to this function update_chap_credentials(input \\ %{}, options \\ [])

Updates the Challenge-Handshake Authentication Protocol (CHAP) credentials for a specified iSCSI target. By default, a gateway does not have CHAP enabled; however, for added security, you might use it.

When you update CHAP credentials, all existing connections on the target are closed and initiators must reconnect with the new credentials.
Link to this function update_gateway_information(input \\ %{}, options \\ [])

Updates a gateway’s metadata, which includes the gateway’s name and time zone. To specify which gateway to update, use the Amazon Resource Name (ARN) of the gateway in your request.

For Gateways activated after September 2, 2015, the gateway's ARN contains the gateway ID rather than the gateway name. However, changing the name of the gateway has no effect on the gateway's ARN.
Link to this function update_gateway_software_now(input \\ %{}, options \\ [])

Updates the gateway virtual machine (VM) software. The request immediately triggers the software update.

When you make this request, you get a `200 OK` success response immediately. However, it might take some time for the update to complete. You can call `DescribeGatewayInformation` to verify the gateway is in the `STATE_RUNNING` state. A software update forces a system restart of your

gateway. You can minimize the chance of any disruption to your applications by increasing your iSCSI Initiators’ timeouts. For more information about increasing iSCSI Initiator timeouts for Windows and Linux, see Customizing Your Windows iSCSI Settings and Customizing Your Linux iSCSI Settings, respectively.

Link to this function update_maintenance_start_time(input \\ %{}, options \\ [])

Updates a gateway’s weekly maintenance start time information, including day and time of the week. The maintenance time is the time in your gateway’s time zone.

Link to this function update_n_f_s_file_share(input \\ %{}, options \\ [])

Updates a file share. This operation is only supported in the file gateway architecture.

To leave a file share field unchanged, set the corresponding input field to null. Updates the following file share setting:
  • Default storage class for your S3 bucket
  • Metadata defaults for your S3 bucket
  • Allowed NFS clients for your file share
  • Squash settings
  • Write status of your file share
To leave a file share field unchanged, set the corresponding input field to null. This operation is only supported in file gateways.
Link to this function update_snapshot_schedule(input \\ %{}, options \\ [])

Updates a snapshot schedule configured for a gateway volume. This operation is only supported in the cached volume and stored volume gateway architectures.

The default snapshot schedule for volume is once every 24 hours, starting at the creation time of the volume. You can use this API to change the snapshot schedule configured for the volume.

In the request you must identify the gateway volume whose snapshot schedule you want to update, and the schedule information, including when you want the snapshot to begin on a day and the frequency (in hours) of snapshots.

Link to this function update_v_t_l_device_type(input \\ %{}, options \\ [])

Updates the type of medium changer in a tape gateway. When you activate a tape gateway, you select a medium changer type for the tape gateway. This operation enables you to select a different type of medium changer after a tape gateway is activated. This operation is only supported in the tape gateway architecture.
