Question
What are the requirements for AWS support in ECX?
Answer
ECX supports the on-premise cached storage gateway.
See http://docs.aws.amazon.com/storagegateway/latest/userguide/on-premises-gateway-common.html for more information.
For cache and upload buffer settings, best practices are defined in the following Amazon AWS topics:
- docs.aws.amazon.com/storagegateway/latest/userguide/managing-cache-common.html
- docs.aws.amazon.com/storagegateway/latest/userguide/managing-upload-buffer-common.html
Once the storage gateway is created with AWS and vCenter, register the AWS provider in ECX. ECX will automatically discover the storage gateway when a policy is created. Note that 32 volumes are supported per storage gateway
