CreateStorediSCSIVolume

Creates a volume on a specified gateway. This operation is only supported in the stored volume gateway type.

The size of the volume to create is inferred from the disk size. You can choose to preserve existing data on the disk, create volume from an existing snapshot, or create an empty volume. If you choose to create an empty gateway volume, then any existing data on the disk is erased.

In the request, you must specify the gateway and the disk information on which you are creating the volume. In response, the gateway creates the volume and returns volume information such as the volume Amazon Resource Name (ARN), its size, and the iSCSI target ARN that initiators can use to connect to the volume target.

Request Parameters

For information about the parameters that are common to all actions, see Common Parameters.

The request accepts the following data in JSON format.

DiskId

The unique identifier for the gateway local disk that is configured as a stored volume. Use ListLocalDisks to list disk IDs for a gateway.

Type: String

Length Constraints: Minimum length of 1. Maximum length of 300.

Required: Yes

GatewayARN

The Amazon Resource Name (ARN) of the gateway. Use the ListGateways operation to return a list of gateways for your account and Amazon Web Services Region.

Type: String

Length Constraints: Minimum length of 50. Maximum length of 500.

Required: Yes

KMSEncrypted

Set to true to use Amazon S3 server-side encryption with your own Amazon KMS key, or false to use a key managed by Amazon S3. Optional.

Valid Values: true | false

Type: Boolean

Required: No

KMSKey

The Amazon Resource Name (ARN) of a symmetric customer master key (CMK) used for Amazon S3 server-side encryption. Storage Gateway does not support asymmetric CMKs. This value can only be set when KMSEncrypted is true. Optional.

Type: String

Length Constraints: Minimum length of 7. Maximum length of 2048.

Required: No

NetworkInterfaceId

The network interface of the gateway on which to expose the iSCSI target. Only IPv4 addresses are accepted. Use DescribeGatewayInformation to get a list of the network interfaces available on a gateway.

Valid Values: A valid IP address.

Type: String

Pattern: \A(25[0-5]|2[0-4]\d|[0-1]?\d?\d)(\.(25[0-5]|2[0-4]\d|[0-1]?\d?\d)){3}\z

Required: Yes

PreserveExistingData

Set to true if you want to preserve the data on the local disk. Otherwise, set to false to create an empty volume.

Valid Values: true | false

Type: Boolean

Required: Yes

SnapshotId

The snapshot ID (e.g., "snap-1122aabb") of the snapshot to restore as the new stored volume. Specify this field if you want to create the iSCSI storage volume from a snapshot; otherwise, do not include this field. To list snapshots for your account use DescribeSnapshots in the Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud API Reference.

Type: String

Pattern: \Asnap-([0-9A-Fa-f]{8}|[0-9A-Fa-f]{17})\z

Required: No

Tags

A list of up to 50 tags that can be assigned to a stored volume. Each tag is a key-value pair.

Note

Valid characters for key and value are letters, spaces, and numbers representable in UTF-8 format, and the following special characters: + - = . _ : / @. The maximum length of a tag's key is 128 characters, and the maximum length for a tag's value is 256.

Type: Array of Tag objects

Required: No

TargetName

The name of the iSCSI target used by an initiator to connect to a volume and used as a suffix for the target ARN. For example, specifying TargetName as myvolume results in the target ARN of arn:aws:storagegateway:us-east-2:111122223333:gateway/sgw-12A3456B/target/iqn.1997-05.com.amazon:myvolume. The target name must be unique across all volumes on a gateway.

If you don't specify a value, Storage Gateway uses the value that was previously used for this volume as the new target name.

Type: String

Length Constraints: Minimum length of 1. Maximum length of 200.

Pattern: ^[-\.;a-z0-9]+$

Required: Yes
