REST Create Volume

This command will create 2TB volume with replica 1 named “vol1” in the default project.

To create a volume, use the POST method command for this URL /api/v2/volumes.

This POST method command includes many parameters that are passed to the curl utility. In the following example, the text wraps across multiple lines but it is still a single "curl -x POST" command.

Sample Command

Bash
    
curl -s -X POST --insecure -H "Accept: application/json" -H "Content-Type: application/json" -H "Authorization: Bearer $LIGHTOS_JWT" -d '{"name": "vol1", "size": "2Tib", "replicaCount": 1, "compression": "false", "projectName": "default", "acl": {"values": ["ALLOW_NONE"]}}' https://localhost:443/api/v2/projects/default/volumes | jq
Copy
