-
Mandatory
Resources are region-specific and cannot be used across regions through internal network connections. For low network latency and quick resource access, select the nearest region.
-
AZ
-
Mandatory
The availability zone (AZ) where you want to create the disk.
NOTE:
- Disks can only be attached to the servers in the same AZ.
- The AZ of a disk cannot be changed after the disk has been created.
AZ1
Attach To Server
-
Optional
- Now: If you select this option, you need to select a server to attach the disk. The billing mode of the disk will be the same as the selected server.
- Later: When no server is available, you can select this option to create the disk first and attach the disk after the purchase.
NOTE:
This parameter is available only in some regions. Whether it is displayed depends on the region where you use EVS.
-
Billing Mode
-
Mandatory
You can pay for EVS disks in two ways:
- Yearly/Monthly
- Pay-per-use
NOTICE:
- If you have selected a server to attach the disk, both yearly/monthly and pay-per-use billing modes are available.
- If you choose not to attach the disk, only pay-per-use billing is available.
Pay-per-use
Data Source (Optional)
Create from- Backup
- Snapshot
- Image
Optional- Create from Backup: The backup data is used to create the disk.
Click Create from and choose Backup. On the displayed page, select the target backup and click OK.
NOTE:
- One backup cannot be used for concurrent disk creation operations at the same time. For example, if you are creating disk A from a backup, this backup can be used to create another disk only after disk A has been created.
- If a disk is created from a backup of a system disk, the new disk can be used as a data disk only.
- Create from Snapshot: The snapshot data is used to create the disk.
Click Create from and choose Snapshot. On the displayed page, select the target snapshot and click OK.
NOTE:
- The device type of the new disk is the same as that of the snapshot's source disk.
- The encryption attribute of the new disk is the same as that of the snapshot's source disk.
- Create from Image: The image data is used to create the disk.
Click Create from and choose Image. On the displayed page, select the target image and click OK.
NOTE:
- The device type of the new disk is the same as that of the image's source disk.
- The encryption attribute of the new disk is the same as that of the image's source disk.
- Create from Backup: autobackup-001
Disk Specifications
Disk Type
Mandatory
EVS disk types vary depending on regions. See the EVS types displayed on the console.
NOTE:
General Purpose SSD V2 disks allow you to specify the disk IOPS and throughput. See the supported performance ranges in Disk Types and Performance.
When a disk is created from a snapshot, the type of the new disk will be consistent with that of the snapshot's source disk.
The disk type can be changed after the disk is purchased. The new disk type must have a higher specification. For example, high I/O can only be changed to ultra-high I/O, but cannot be changed to common I/O.
Ultra-high I/O
Capacity (GiB)
Mandatory
The disk size. Only data disks can be created on the current page, and the disk size ranges from 10 GiB to 32,768 GiB.
NOTE:
- When you use a backup to create a disk, the disk capacity must be greater than or equal to the backup size. In the condition that you do not specify a disk capacity, if the backup size is smaller than 10 GiB, the default capacity 10 GiB will be used as the disk capacity; if the backup size is greater than 10 GiB, the disk capacity will be consistent with the backup size.
- When you use a snapshot to create a disk, the disk capacity must be greater than or equal to the snapshot size. In the condition that you do not specify a disk capacity, if the snapshot size is smaller than 10 GiB, the default 10 GiB will be used as the disk capacity; if the snapshot size is greater than 10 GiB, the disk capacity will be consistent with the snapshot size.
- The system shows you the maximum number of disks as well as the maximum disk capacity allowed to purchase. To ensure effective resource usage, if the disk capacity you need exceeds the upper limit, click Increase Quota to obtain a higher quota. You can purchase the disk capacity you need after the request is approved.
100 GiB
Automatic Backup
-
CBR lets you back up EVS disks and ECSs and use the backups to restore data. After you configure automatic backup, the system will associate the EVS disk with the backup vault and apply the selected policy to the vault to periodically back up the disk.- Do not use: Skip this configuration if backup is not required. If you need backup protection after a disk has been purchased, log in to the CBR console, locate the desired vault, and associate the disk with the vault.
- Use existing:
- Vault: Select an existing vault from the drop-down list.
- Backup Policy: Select a backup policy from the drop-down list, or go to the CBR console and configure a desired one.
- Buy new:
- Enter a vault name, which can contain a maximum of 64 characters, including letters, digits, underscores (_), and hyphens (-), for example, vault-f61e. The default naming rule is vault_xxxx.
- Enter the vault capacity, which is required for backing up the disk. The vault capacity cannot be less than the size of the disk to be backed up. The value ranges from the disk size to 10,485,760 in the unit of GiB.
- Select a backup policy from the drop-down list, or go to the CBR console and configure a desired one.

Advanced Settings- Share
- SCSI
- Encryption
Optional
- Share
If you select Share, a shared disk is created. A shared disk can be attached to up to 16 servers. If you do not select Share, a non-shared disk is created, and the disk can be attached to one a server only.
If you select both SCSI and Share, a shared SCSI disk is created.
NOTE:
The sharing attribute of a disk cannot be changed after the disk has been created.
- SCSI
If you select SCSI, a SCSI disk is created. Such disks allow the server OS to directly access the underlying storage media and send SCSI commands to the disks. If you do not select SCSI, a VBD disk is created. That said, the disk device type is VBD, the default device type.
NOTE:
The device type of a disk cannot be changed after the disk has been created.
- Encryption
This option is only used to encrypt data disks, and you need to create an agency to grant KMS access rights to EVS.
After the access rights are granted, configure the following parameters on the Encryption Settings page displayed:
- Select an existing key
If you select Select an existing key, select a key from the drop-down list. You can select one of the following keys:
Default Key: After the KMS access rights have been granted to EVS, the system automatically creates a Default Key evs/default.
An existing or new custom key. For details about how to create a key, see Creating a Key.
- Enter a key ID
If you select Enter a key ID, enter an ID of a key shared with you by another account. Ensure that the shared key is in the same region where you want to create the disk. For details, see Creating a Grant.
NOTE:
- System disk encryption relies on the image. For details, see Creating Encrypted Images.
- Before you use the encryption function, you need to create an agency to grant KMS access rights to EVS. If you have the right to grant the permission, grant the KMS access rights to EVS directly. After the KMS access rights have been granted, follow-up operations do not require the rights to be granted again. If you do not have this permission, contact a user with the security administrator permissions to grant KMS access rights to EVS, then repeat the preceding operations.
- The encryption attribute of a disk cannot be changed after the disk has been created.
- Select an existing key

Tag
Optional
You can add tags when creating disks. Tags can help you identify, classify, and search for your disks. For details about the tag rules, see the rule description in section "Adding a Tag" in the user guide.NOTE:
- Tag rules vary depending on regions. See the rules displayed on the console.
-
Disk Name
-
Mandatory
- If you create a single disk, the name you entered will be used as the disk name.
- If you create multiple disks in a batch, the name you entered will be used as the prefix of disk names. An actual disk name will be composed of the name you entered and a four-digit number.
For example, if you create two disks and set volume for Disk Name, the EVS disk names will be volume-0001 and volume-0002.
Quantity
-
- Usage Duration: This parameter is mandatory if you select Yearly/Monthly for Billing Mode.
You can choose from 1 month to 3 years for the usage duration.
- Quantity: This parameter is optional.
The preset disk quantity is 1, which means one disk will be created. You can create a maximum of 100 disks at a time.
NOTE:
- If the disk is created from a backup, batch creation is not possible, and this parameter must be set to 1.
- If the disk is created from a snapshot, batch creation is not possible, and this parameter must be set to 1.
- The system shows you the maximum number of disks as well as the maximum disk capacity allowed to purchase. To ensure effective resource usage, if the number of disks you need exceeds the upper limit, click Increase Quota to obtain a higher quota. You can purchase the disks you need after the request is approved.
