Apply an update manually

Focus mode
Apply an update manually - AWS Storage Gateway

If a software update is available for your gateway, you can apply it manually by following the procedure below. This manual update process ignores the maintenance window schedule and applies the update immediately, even if maintenance updates are turned off.

Note

The following procedure describes how to manually apply an update using the Storage Gateway console. To perform this action programmatically using the API, see UpdateGatewaySoftwareNow in the Storage Gateway API Reference.

To apply a gateway software update manually using the Storage Gateway console:
  1. Open the Storage Gateway console at https://console.aws.amazon.com/storagegateway/home.

  2. On the navigation pane, choose Gateways, and then choose the gateway you want to update.

    If an update is available, the console displays a blue notification banner on the gateway Details tab, which includes an option to apply the update.

  3. Choose Apply update now to immediately update the gateway.

    Note

    This operation causes a temporary disruption to gateway functionality while the update installs. During this time, the gateway status appears OFFLINE in the Storage Gateway console. After the update finishes installing, the gateway resumes normal operation and its status changes to RUNNING.

You can verify that the gateway software was updated to the latest version by checking the Details tab for the selected gateway in the Storage Gateway console.
