Attach a Volume to a Server

Attachs an existing storage volume to the specified server.

You can attach an existing volume in the VDC to a server. To move a volume from one server to another, you must first detach the volume from the first server and attach it to the second server.

It is also possible to create and attach a volume in one step by simply providing a new volume description as a payload. The only difference is the URL; see 'Creating a Volume' for details about volumes.

Note that the combined total of attached volumes and NICs cannot exceed 24 per server.

Volumes that use a Confidential Computing image cannot be attached or created through this endpoint. Such a volume can only be created as part of the server creation request, is permanently the boot device of that server, and cannot be attached to any other server afterwards.

Authorizations

AuthorizationstringRequired

You will need to base64 encode the string containing your credentials.

Note:

• Basic Authentication is supported only when 2-Factor Authentication is not configured.
• Users with 2-Factor Authentication activated must generate new 2FA-secured tokens in the DCD using [Token Manager](https://docs.ionos.com/cloud/set-up-ionos-cloud/management/identity-access-management/token-manager). These tokens do not inherit the 2FA-secured property by default.
• Token deletion is only possible using the Token Manager.

Separate your username and password with a colon, i.e., username:password and send it as 'Authorization' request header. More details: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Basic_access_authentication
