Deploy, configure, and manage on-premises file gateways to efficiently bridge local and cloud storage resources.
Deploy an on-premises gateway console
Before you can use an on-premises file gateway, deploy an on-premises console from an image. This involves downloading and installing the image, configuring network settings, and activating the gateway. For more information, see Deploy an on-premises console for a file gateway.
Manage cloud resources
In the on-premises gateway console, you can bind or unbind cloud resources and test connection speeds to ensure seamless data synchronization. For more information, see Manage cloud resources.
Add a disk
To deploy an on-premises file gateway in cache mode, add a disk to the deployment platform, such as VMware vSphere or Hyper-V. You can then configure the disk as a cache disk in the Cloud Storage Gateway (CSG) console or the on-premises file gateway console. For more information, see Add disks.
The minimum cache disk size for a file gateway is 40 GB. If the disk is smaller than 40 GB, the file gateway cannot detect it.
Manage cache disks
In the on-premises gateway console, you can add, delete, and speed-test cache disks for on-premises file gateways. For more information, see Manage cache disks.
Manage NFS shares
NFS shares are suitable for data access from Linux clients. You can create, modify, disable, and delete NFS shares in the on-premises gateway console. For more information, see Manage NFS shares.
Manage SMB shares
SMB shares are suitable for data access from Windows clients. You can create, modify, disable, or delete SMB shares, configure Active Directory (AD) or LDAP settings, and add SMB users in the on-premises gateway console. For more information, see Manage SMB shares.
Access shares
You can access a share by using its network path or by mapping it as a network drive. For more information, see Access shares.
Manage logs
You can upload logs in the CSG console for troubleshooting and performance optimization. For more information, see Manage logs.
Monitor gateways
File gateways V1.0.39 and later support log monitoring. You can monitor gateway status, storage usage, and performance metrics such as CPU usage, memory usage, and network traffic. For more information, see Monitor gateways.
Update gateways
Update a gateway to the latest version for new features and security patches. For more information, see Update gateways.
Modify the AccessKey ID and AccessKey secret
In CSG V1.6.0 and later, you can modify the AccessKey ID and AccessKey secret in the on-premises gateway console. For more information, see Modify the AccessKey ID and AccessKey secret.
