Volumes
In this post we will learn how to create and associate volumes, volumes are block devices that can be attached or detached to instances and also easily disassociated from one instance and associated with another machine.
To create volumes go to Project / Volumes / Volumes click in Create Volume, enter a name for the volume and click in Create Volume again:
Example:
• Volume Name: windows-volume.
Now on the actions button to the right of the volume name select Manage Attachments, in Attach to Instance select the machine and click in Attach Volume:
Example:
• Attach to instance: vm-windows.
Note: If you do not have any instances available go to How to create and access windows instances in BCOS? to know more.
Now you need to mount the volume, go to the Windows instance where the volume was attached.
After accessing your instance follow these steps:
Access the Windows computer manager.
In the side menu select the disk manager option.
Activate the additional disk.
Format the disk.
After forming the disk go to "This PC" and make sure the disk is there.
