Create Cluster

To create a Network File Storage cluster via the API, perform a POST request with the name and description of the cluster.

Important: The user privilege for accessing and managing Network File Storage is not effective yet. Any user with an active token will be granted access to the service management independent of the privilege setting. The group privilege will be added to the application with an upcoming release and the documentation will be updated accordingly.
