How to Update Vultr Storage Gateway

Updated on 05 June, 2025

Vultr Storage Gateway (an NFS Gateway for Vultr File System) allows scalable NFS access to VFS volumes. You can update a gateway’s label to better organize your infrastructure, enforce naming conventions, or reflect project changes.

Follow this guide to update a Vultr Storage Gateway using the Vultr API.

  1. Send a GET request to the List Storage Gateways endpoint and copy the ID of the gateway you want to update.

    console 
    $ curl "https://api.vultr.com/v2/storage-gateways" \
    -H "Authorization: Bearer ${VULTR_API_KEY}"

  2. Send a PUT request to the Update Storage Gateway endpoint using the copied ID. The only supported field for updates is the label.

    console 
    $ curl "https://api.vultr.com/v2/storage-gateways/<storage-gateway-id>" \
    -X PUT \
    -H "Authorization: Bearer ${VULTR_API_KEY}" \
    -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
    --data '{
      "label": "<your-new-storage-gateway-label>"
    }'

  3. Send a GET request to the Storage Gateway endpoint using the Storage Gateway ID to confirm the updated label.

    console 
    $ curl "https://api.vultr.com/v2/storage-gateways/<storage-gateway-id>" \
    -H "Authorization: Bearer ${VULTR_API_KEY}"
