Create a Volume

Usage

ionosctl compute volume create [flags]

Aliases

For volume command:

[v vol]

For create command:

[c]

Description

Use this command to create a Volume on your account, within a Data Center. This will NOT attach the Volume to a Server. Please see the Servers commands for details on how to attach storage Volumes. You can specify the name, size, type, licence type, availability zone, image and other properties for the object.

NNote: The Licence Type has a default value, but if Image ID or Image Alias is supplied, then Licence Type will be automatically set. The Image Password or SSH Keys attributes can be defined when creating a Volume that uses an Image ID or Image Alias of an IONOS public Image. You may wish to set a valid value for Image Password even when using SSH Keys so that it is possible to authenticate with a password when using the remote console feature of the DCD.

You can wait for the Request to be executed using --wait-for-request option.

Required values to run command:
