Requirements

The below requirements are needed on the host that executes this module.

  • keystoneauth1 >= 3.6.0

Parameters

Parameter

Comments

availability_zone

string / required

Specifies the AZ where you want to create the disk.

backup_id

string

Specifies the ID of the backup that can be used to create a disk. This parameter is mandatory when you use a backup to create the disk.

description

string

Specifies the disk description. The value can contain a maximum of 255 bytes.

domain

string / required

The name of the Domain to scope to (Identity v3).

Currently only domain names are supported, and not domain IDs.

enable_full_clone

boolean

If the disk is created from a snapshot and linked cloning needs to be used, set this parameter to True.

Choices:

  • false

  • true

enable_scsi

boolean

If this parameter is set to True, the disk device type will be SCSI, which allows ECS OSs to directly access underlying storage media. SCSI reservation command is supported. If this parameter is set to False, the disk device type will be VBD, which supports only simple SCSI read/write commands.

If parameter enable_share is set to True and this parameter is not specified, shared SCSI disks are created. SCSI EVS disks cannot be created from backups, which means that this parameter cannot be True if backup_id has been specified.

Choices:

  • false

  • true

enable_share

boolean

Specifies whether the disk is shareable. The default value is False.

Choices:

  • false

  • true

encryption_id

string

Specifies the encryption ID. The length of it fixes at 36 bytes.

enterprise_project_id

string

Specifies the enterprise project ID. This ID is associated with the disk during the disk creation. If it is not specified, the disk is bound to the default enterprise project.

id

string

The ID of resource to be managed.

identity_endpoint

string / required

The Identity authentication URL.

image_id

string

Specifies the image ID. If this parameter is specified, the disk is created from an image. BMS system disks cannot be created from BMS images.

integer

Specifies the disk size, in GB. Its values are as follows, System disk 1 GB to 1024 GB, Data disk 10 GB to 32768 GB. This parameter is mandatory when you create an empty disk or use an image or a snapshot to create a disk. If you use an image or a snapshot to create a disk, the disk size must be greater than or equal to the image or snapshot size. This parameter is optional when you use a backup to create a disk. If this parameter is not specified, the disk size is equal to the backup size.

snapshot_id

string

Specifies the snapshot ID. If this parameter is specified, the disk is created from a snapshot.

state

string

Whether the given object should exist in Huaweicloud Cloud.

Choices:

  • "present" ← (default)

user

string / required

The user name to login with.

Currently only user names are supported, and not user IDs.

volume_type

string / required
