Shuts down a Tape Gateway or Volume Gateway¶
Description¶
Shuts down a Tape Gateway or Volume Gateway. To specify which gateway to shut down, use the Amazon Resource Name (ARN) of the gateway in the body of your request.
This API action cannot be used to shut down S3 File Gateway or FSx File Gateway.
The operation shuts down the gateway service component running in the gateway's virtual machine (VM) and not the host VM.
If you want to shut down the VM, it is recommended that you first shut down the gateway component in the VM to avoid unpredictable conditions.
After the gateway is shutdown, you cannot call any other API except
start_gateway
, describe_gateway_information
, and list_gateways
.
For more information, see activate_gateway
. Your applications cannot
read from or write to the gateway's storage volumes, and there are no
snapshots taken.
When you make a shutdown request, you will get a 200 OK
success
response immediately. However, it might take some time for the gateway
to shut down. You can call the describe_gateway_information
API to
check the status. For more information, see activate_gateway
.
If do not intend to use the gateway again, you must delete the gateway
(using delete_gateway
) to no longer pay software charges associated
with the gateway.
