Cloud Manager enables you to discover the NFS cloud volumes in your Cloud Volumes Service for AWS subscription. After discovery, you can add additional NFS cloud volumes directly from Cloud Manager.

Note Cloud Manager does not support SMB or dual-protocol volumes with Cloud Volumes Service for AWS.

To get started, you need to discover the cloud volumes in an AWS region. You can discover additional regions later.

Steps

Creating cloud volumes

Cloud Manager enables you to create NFSv3 cloud volumes. You can only create cloud volumes with an initial size and single export policy. Editing the volume must be done from the Cloud Volume Service user interface.

  1. Open the working environment.

  2. Click Add New Volume.

  3. Enter details about the volume:

    1. Enter a name for the volume.

    2. Specify a size within the range of 100 GiB to 90,000 GiB (equivalent to 88 TiBs).

      Note Cloud Manager displays volumes in GiB, while the Cloud Volumes Service displays volumes in GB.

    3. Specify a service level: Standard, Premium, or Extreme.

      Learn more about these service levels.

    4. Choose a region. You can create the volume in a region that Cloud Manager has discovered.

    5. Restrict client access by specifying an IP address or Classless Inter-Domain Routing (CIDR).

Getting help

Use the Cloud Manager chat for general service questions.

For technical support issues associated with your cloud volumes, use your 20 digit “930” serial number located in the "Support" tab of the Cloud Volumes Service user interface. Use this support ID when opening a web ticket or calling for support. Be sure to activate your Cloud Volumes Service serial number for support from the Cloud Volumes Service user interface. Those steps are explained here.
