# AttachDisks

## 1. API Description

This API (AttachDisks) is used to attach disks to instance.

{% hint style="info" %} <mark style="color:blue;">**Note**</mark>

* <mark style="color:blue;">A maximum of 10 disks can be attached to an instance in one request.</mark>
* <mark style="color:blue;">Quantity of attached disks cannot exceed available disk numbers of an instance, that is usually 15 disks.</mark>
* <mark style="color:blue;">The disk and the instance to which you want to attach the disk reside in the same zone.</mark>
* <mark style="color:blue;">You can only attach disks to the available instance. Please note that status of</mark> <mark style="color:blue;">`DEPLOYING`</mark> <mark style="color:blue;">or</mark> <mark style="color:blue;">`PENDING`</mark> <mark style="color:blue;">is not available.</mark>

* <mark style="color:blue;">This API is an async API. A request ID is returned after the creation request is sent. However, it does not mean the operation has been completed. You can use</mark> [<mark style="color:purple;">`DescribeDisks`</mark>](/api-reference/compute/vm/disk/describedisks.md) <mark style="color:blue;">to query the status of the disk. If the status changes from</mark> <mark style="color:blue;">`AVAILABLE`</mark> <mark style="color:blue;">to</mark> <mark style="color:blue;">`IN_USE`</mark><mark style="color:blue;">, it means that the disk is attached successfully.</mark>
