Create storage

Available in VPC

The following describes how to add additional storage to a server on top of the default storage.

Create storage

To add a storage to the server, you need to first create a storage on NAVER Cloud Platform console. As the storage capacity, type, and creation method that can be generated vary depending on the server's hypervisor type, check before proceeding.

Creating KVM-based storage

The following describes how to create additional storage for g3 servers based on KVM in NAVER Cloud Platform console:

1. Click the environment you are using in the Region menu and the Platform menu on the NAVER Cloud Platform console.
2. Click Services > Compute > Server, in order.
3. Click the Storage menu.
4. Click the [Create storage] button.
5. On the Create storage pop-up, enter information and click the [Add] button.
   • Hypervisor: select KVM
   • Storage name: enter between 3-30 characters using English upper and lowercase letters, numbers, hyphens (-), and/or underscores (_). It must start with an English letter, and if the name is not entered, it is created automatically
   • Zone: select the zone to place the storage
   • Storage type: select from the types provided based on the hypervisor types considering the purpose of use. For performance information by type, see Check storage information
     • CB1: for small-sized data accessed frequently
     • FB1: for storing large data accessed infrequently
   • Select snapshot: to create a storage using a snapshot you have, select the desired snapshot (see Create storage with snapshot)
   • Size: entered in the units of 10 GB within the scope guided on the screen
   • Max IOPS: check the maximum IOPS value
     • For CB1 as the selected storage type: varies with the specified storage size
     • For FB1 as the selected storage type: 500 IOPS
   • Storage termination protection: select whether to protect storage from being terminated
   • Note: enter necessary explanations related to storage creation within 1000 bytes
6. Check the pop-up message and click the [OK] button.
   • The created storage is displayed on the storage list.
   • Once you create a storage and complete the tasks including connecting to a server, disk partitioning, formatting, and mounting, you are ready to use the storage.
     • To connect storage to a server, proceed with the Server connection task.
     • To use storage while it's connected to a server, proceed with the Mounting storage (Linux) or Registering storage volume (Windows) tasks.

Creating XEN-based storage

The following describes how to create additional storage for g1 and g2 servers based on XEN in NAVER Cloud Platform console:

1. Click the environment you are using in the Region menu and the Platform menu on the NAVER Cloud Platform console.
2. Click Services > Compute > Server, in order.
3. Click the Storage menu.
4. Click the [Create storage] button.
5. On the Create storage pop-up, enter information and click the [Add] button.
   • Hypervisor: selectXEN
   • Storage name: enter between 3-30 characters using English upper and lowercase letters, numbers, hyphens (-), and/or underscores (_). It must start with an English letter, and if the name is not entered, it is created automatically.
   • Zone: select the zone to place the storage
   • Storage type: select from the types provided based on the hypervisor types considering the purpose of use
     • SSD: for high-performance I/O
     • HDD: for general services
   • Select applied server: when connecting storage to a server right after creating it, select the server to connect to. For more information on the applied server, see Connect to server.
   • Select snapshot: to create a storage using a snapshot you have, select the desired snapshot (see Create storage with snapshot)
   • Size: entered in the units of 10 GB within the scope guided on the screen
   • Max IOPS: check the maximum IOPS value
     • For SSD as the selected storage type: varies with the specified storage size
     • For HDD as the selected storage type: fixed IOPS
   • Storage termination protection: select whether to protect storage from being terminated
6. Check the pop-up message and click the [OK] button.
   • The created storage is displayed on the storage list.
   • Once you create a storage and complete the tasks including connecting to a server, disk partitioning, formatting, and mounting, you are ready to use the storage.
     • To connect storage to a server, proceed with the Server connection task.
     • To use storage while it's connected to a server, proceed with the Mounting storage (Linux) or Registering storage volume (Windows) tasks.
