This is the request payload to create cinder volume
{
"volume":{
"availability_zone":"nova",
"bootable":"true",
"description":null,
"size":2,
"display_name":"my-new-vol2",
"imageRef":"f855b40a-66c7-4b6e-8a46-f229e70a2d0f",
"metadata":{
}
}
}
How do I specify the volume-type to be used for volume creation?
HI,
If you are creating cinder volume from the CLI, I would suggest you first list the volumes types by using cinder type-list and then uses one of them during volume creation as
cinder create 1 --name test --volume-type <namefromabove command>
Hi thanks for posting the question.
Follow this API documentation to specify the volume_type while creating a volume.
https://developer.openstack.org/api-ref/block-storage/v2/index.html?expanded=list-consistency-group-snapshots-detail,create-consistency-group-snapshot-detail,update-volume-type-detail,create-volume-detail#create-volume
Below is an example from the document for your reference:
{
"volume": {
"size": 10,
"availability_zone": null,
"source_volid": null,
"description": null,
"multiattach ": false,
"snapshot_id": null,
"name": null,
"imageRef": null,
"volume_type": null,
"metadata": {},
"source_replica": null,
"consistencygroup_id": null
},
"OS-SCH-HNT:scheduler_hints": {
"same_host": [
"a0cf03a5-d921-4877-bb5c-86d26cf818e1",
"8c19174f-4220-44f0-824a-cd1eeef10287"
]
}
}
I hope that clears your doubt
Thanks,
