How to force AWS Gateway Update

Question

My gateway has a message of "A new software update is available. This may generate an automatic restart of your gateway."

However, when I click Apply Update Now, the green message pops up along the top, but the Gateway never updates.

Any idea why this happens?

Accepted Answer

I am assuming you are talking about Storage Gateway.

Use CLI to force an update:

Get the ARN

aws storagegateway list-gateways
{
    "Gateways": [
        {
            "GatewayId": "sgw-VVVVV",
            "GatewayARN": "arn:aws:storagegateway:us-east-1:XXXXX:gateway/sgw-VVVVV",
            "GatewayName": "HHHHHHH",
            "GatewayOperationalState": "ACTIVE",
            "GatewayType": "FILE_S3"
        },
        {
            "GatewayId": "sgw-GGGGGG",
            "GatewayARN": "arn:aws:storagegateway:us-east-1:XXXXXX:gateway/sgw-GGGGGG",
            "GatewayName": "dskhdksj",
            "GatewayOperationalState": "ACTIVE",
            "GatewayType": "FILE_S3"
        }
    ]
}
With the ARN you could now force the update:

aws storagegateway update-gateway-software-now --gateway-arn arn:aws:storagegateway:us-west-1:XXXXX:gateway/sgw-HGHJGJ
{
    "GatewayARN": "arn:aws:storagegateway:us-west-1:XXXXX:gateway/sgw-GHGHGH"
}
