Write a shell script to create AWS storage gateway

 

To create an AWS Storage Gateway, you'll generally use AWS CLI or SDKs, as there is no direct support in AWS for creating a Storage Gateway via shell script alone. The steps involve creating the gateway, associating it with a region, activating it, and configuring the necessary storage, among other configurations.

Below is an example shell script that utilizes the AWS CLI to create and configure a simple AWS Storage Gateway (File Gateway). Before running it, make sure you have installed and configured AWS CLI and have sufficient permissions.

Steps Involved:

1. Create a Storage Gateway

2. Activate the Gateway

3. Configure the Local Disks

Prerequisites:

AWS CLI should be installed and configured with the necessary permissions.

The Storage Gateway VM should be deployed and you should have its public IP or DNS.

IAM permissions to create the Storage Gateway.

Here's an example shell script:

#!/bin/bash

# Configurations

REGION="us-west-2"    # Set your desired AWS region

GATEWAY_NAME="MyFileGateway"    # Name for the gateway

GATEWAY_TYPE="FILE_S3"    # Type of the storage gateway (FILE_S3, VTL, etc.)

ACTIVATION_KEY="your-activation-key"  # Replace with the actual activation key for the gateway (get it from Storage Gateway VM setup page)

DISK_ID="your-disk-id"    # ID of the local disk for the gateway's storage

TIMEZONE="GMT"    # Time zone setting for the gateway

# Step 1: Create the Storage Gateway

echo "Creating the storage gateway..."

aws storagegateway create-gateway \

    --gateway-name $GATEWAY_NAME \

    --gateway-region $REGION \

    --gateway-type $GATEWAY_TYPE \

    --activation-key $ACTIVATION_KEY \

    --timezone $TIMEZONE

# Check if gateway was created successfully

if [ $? -ne 0 ]; then

    echo "Failed to create the Storage Gateway"

    exit 1

fi

# Get the Gateway ARN

GATEWAY_ARN=$(aws storagegateway list-gateways --query "Gateways[?GatewayName=='$GATEWAY_NAME'].GatewayARN" --output text)

echo "Gateway created with ARN: $GATEWAY_ARN"

# Step 2: Add local disk to the gateway (Configure the disk for cache)

echo "Configuring the local disks..."

aws storagegateway add-cache \

    --gateway-arn $GATEWAY_ARN \

    --disk-ids $DISK_ID

# Check if the disk was added successfully

if [ $? -ne 0 ]; then

    echo "Failed to add disk to the Storage Gateway"

    exit 1

fi

echo "Local disk added and configured as cache."

# Step 3: Activate the Gateway

echo "Activating the Storage Gateway..."

aws storagegateway activate-gateway \

    --gateway-arn $GATEWAY_ARN \

    --activation-key $ACTIVATION_KEY

if [ $? -ne 0 ]; then

    echo "Failed to activate the Storage Gateway"

    exit 1

fi

echo "Storage Gateway activated successfully."

Instructions:

1. Ensure that you have deployed the Storage Gateway appliance (typically a VM), and obtained the activation key (displayed in the AWS console).

2. Fill in the required values such as REGION, GATEWAY_NAME, ACTIVATION_KEY, and DISK_ID.

3. Run the script by saving it to a file, e.g., create-storage-gateway.sh, and then execute it:

chmod +x create-storage-gateway.sh

./create-storage-gateway.sh

Notes:

This script is basic and does not handle error cases or complex configurations like creating file shares, cache volumes, or VTL devices.

You'll need to adapt the script based on the exact type of gateway (File Gateway, Volume Gateway, Tape Gateway) you want to create.
