Create Virtual Disks

Virtual disks are intended to store user-specific data and can be attached to virtual machines.

Follow these steps:

1. Open the CA Server Automation user interface from the Start menu. Click Management, Resources.

   The Explore tree opens.

2. Expand the Huawei SingleCLOUD folder and right-click the appropriate Storage Cluster.

   A pop-up menu opens.

3. Select Management, Create Disk.

   The Create Disk dialog opens.

4. Specify the following parameters and click OK.
   • Disk Name
   • Disk Type (User Disk or Shared Disk). A User Disk can be attached to one virtual machine. A Shared Disk can be attached to multiple virtual machines.
