  1. Create volumes.

    Run either of the following commands with the parameters for creating volumes specified.

    REST API: POST /v1/objects/volumes

    CLI: volume_create

    Verify the job ID which is displayed after the command is run.

    Tip:
    • You can set the name and nickname for a volume. The name must be unique in the storage cluster. The nickname does not have to be unique (can also be used for other volumes). For this reason, a name can be used for identifying each individual volume, and a nickname can be used for create a group of volumes.

    • In creating volumes, even though you can specify the ID of the storage controller that manages them, specification is not required because a storage controller is automatically selected. To specify the ID of the storage controller that manages the volumes you create, contact a system administrator.

  2. Verify the state of the job.

    Run either of the following commands with the job ID specified.

    REST API: GET /v1/objects/jobs/<jobId>

    CLI: job_show

    If the job state is "Succeeded", the job is completed.

  3. Obtain a list of volumes and verify that the volumes are created.

    REST API: GET /v1/objects/volumes

    CLI: volume_list
