Parameter	Mandatory	Type	Description
share	Yes	Share object	The parameters for creating a file system.

**Table 4** Share
Parameter	Mandatory	Type	Description
availability_zone	Yes	String	The code of the AZ where the file system resides.
description	No	String	The file system description. It can contain 0 to 255 characters.
metadata	No	Metadata object	The file system metadata. The value consists of one or multiple key-value pairs organized as a directory of strings.
name	Yes	String	The file system name. The name can contain 4 to 64 characters and must start with a letter. It can contain letters (case insensitive), digits, hyphens (-), and underscores (_), and cannot contain other special characters.
security_group_id	Yes	String	The security group ID of a tenant in a region.
share_proto	Yes	String	Network File System (NFS) is a distributed file system protocol that allows different computers and OSs to share data over a network. You are advised to use NFS file systems with Linux servers.
share_type	Yes	String	The file system type. Valid values are STANDARD and PERFORMANCE. This field is not returned when the file system is being created. For a previous-generation SFS Turbo file system, specify STANDARD for a Standard or Standard-Enhanced file system, and PERFORMANCE for a Performance or Performance-Enhanced file system.
size	Yes	Integer	For a previous-generation SFS Turbo file system, the capacity ranges from 500 to 32768, in GiB. For a previous-generation SFS Turbo file system with expand_type="bandwidth" configured under metadata, the capacity ranges from 10240 to 327680, in GiB.
subnet_id	Yes	String	The subnet ID of a tenant in a VPC.
vpc_id	Yes	String	The VPC ID of a tenant in a region.
backup_id	No	String	The backup ID. This parameter is mandatory if you create a file system from a backup.
tags	No	Array of ResourceTag objects	The tag list.

**Table 5** Metadata
Parameter	Mandatory	Type	Description
crypt_key_id	No	String	The ID of a KMS professional key, which is used to create an encrypted file system.
expand_type	No	String	The extension type. This parameter is not returned when the file system is being created. Specify bandwidth when you are creating a Standard-Enhanced or Performance-Enhanced file system. Enumeration values: bandwidth

**Table 6** ResourceTag
Parameter	Mandatory	Type	Description
key	Yes	String	The tag key. It can contain a maximum of 128 characters. It cannot be left empty and cannot contain the following characters: ASCII (0-31), equal signs (=), asterisks (*), left angle brackets (<), right angle brackets (>), backslashes (), commas (,), vertical bars (\|), and slashes (/).
