The following describes how to add additional storage to a server on top of the default storage.
Bare metal servers cannot use the add storage function.
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.
Maximum additional storage capacity per server | Types of storage that can be created | |
---|---|---|
KVM-based g3 servers | You can add up to 20 storages with a maximum size of 16 TB each (the number of additional storage excluding the default storage) | CB1, FB1 |
XEN-based g1, g2 servers | You can add up to 15 storages with a maximum size of 2 TB each (the number of additional storage excluding the default storage) | SSD, HDD |
Creating KVM-based storage
The following describes how to create additional storage for g3 servers based on KVM in NAVER Cloud Platform console:
- Click the environment you are using in the Region menu and the Platform menu on the NAVER Cloud Platform console.
- Click Services > Compute > Server, in order.
- Click the Storage menu.
- Click the [Create storage] button.
- 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
- 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:
- Click the environment you are using in the Region menu and the Platform menu on the NAVER Cloud Platform console.
- Click Services > Compute > Server, in order.
- Click the Storage menu.
- Click the [Create storage] button.
- 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
- 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.
Storage creation menu that appears when clicking [Manage server and change settings] button on the Server page is also possible for XEN-based storage. For more information, see**Manage server**.
