Create File Shares

Create File Shares

1. Access the Storage Gateway service management console.

   • Click File Shares.
   • Click Create File Share.

   

2. For Gateway, Select filesgw.

   • For File Share type, Select SMB.

   Note: For On-premise machines running Linux/MacOS/AIX, you can choose Network File System (NFS), for Windows machines you should choose Server Message Block (SMB). This choice is only a recommendation, you can still use NFS for Windows machines and SMB for Linux machines, however it will be more complex during the mounting process on On-premise.

   • For Amazon S3 bucket name, select s3-instancestoragegw-2026 (the S3 bucket name we created).

   • Then select Configure.

   

   • Enter the password we created earlier and then click Save.

   

3. Scroll down and Click Create File Share.
