Create Volume

To create volume, follow these steps:

A default volume is automatically created and attached to instances during their creation. This ensures that every instance has essential storage from the start. However, you can create additional volumes as needed to expand storage or require dedicated space for particular workload functions.

To create an additional volume, follow the steps below:

1. Log into your Qumulus Cloud account.

2. Navigate to Storage > Volumes

3. Click on the "Get Started and Create Volume" Button.

4. Configure Volume Details

• Volume Name: Name your Volume, following the rules listed below the Volume Name field.

• Size: Specify the desired volume size.

5. Save & Create

• Click on Save to begin the volume creation process.

• Once created, the new volume will be listed in the Volumes section under Storage.

Manage Volumes

To manage existing volumes:

1. Navigate to Compute > Volumes.

2. Access Volume Actions

Locate the desired volume and click three-dot (⋮) under the Action column to view management options.

3. Select the Desired Action:

• Edit: Modify volume details, including name and descriptions.

• Extend Volume: Users can increase or decrease the size of Volume.

• Delete: Permanently remove the Volume.
