You can add storage while creating the instance or after creation.

Note

• Up to 1 disk can be attached to enlarge your instance storage.

• Only disks in the same zone of the instance can be attached.

Procedures

1. Go to Add Storage choosing one of the following ways:

   • Elastic Compute Instance > Actions > Instance Settings > Add Storage

   • Instance Details > Information > Storage > Add Storage

   • Disk > Actions > Attach

   
2. Select a desired disk and click Confirm to attach. If no desired disk, click New Disk to create a new disk. See Create a Disk for detailed steps.

What to Do Next

After attaching, the disk is offline by default. Access to your instance and initialize the disk. See Initialize a Disk for detailed steps.
