Viewing Disk Information and Supported Operations

Background

Elastic Volume Service (EVS) provides scalable block storage that features high reliability, high performance, and a variety of specifications for cloud servers. An EVS disk can be used as a system disk or a data disk.

FlexusL instances contain system disks by default. If your FlexusL instance does not contain any data disk and you need one, you can buy a data disk by referring to Adding a Data Disk.

Constraints

A newly purchased data disk must be initialized in the cloud server OS before you can use it (the system disk does not need to be initialized). For details, see Initializing a Data Disk.

1. Log in to the FlexusL console and click a resource card to go to the instance details page.

   • Disk information includes the disk name, type, capacity, and specifications.
