Function

This API is used to attach an EVS disk to a BMS.

This API has been discarded. Use the API in Attaching an EVS Disk to a BMS.

Constraints

A bootable disk cannot be attached to a BMS.
A disk cannot be attached to a BMS when the BMS is in the PAUSED state, which is specified using the OS-EXT-STS:vm_state parameter.
Only a shared disk or a disk in the available state can be attached to a BMS.
Only EVS disks whose device type is SCSI can be attached to a BMS.

URI

POST /v2.1/{project_id}/servers/{server_id}/os-volume_attachments

Table 1 lists the parameters.

**Table 1** Parameter description
Parameter	Mandatory	Description
project_id	Yes	Specifies the project ID. For details about how to obtain the project ID, see Obtaining a Project ID.
server_id	Yes	Specifies the BMS ID. You can obtain the BMS ID from the BMS console or by calling the Querying BMSs (Discarded).

Request Parameters

Parameter	Mandatory	Type	Description
volumeAttachment	Yes	Object	Specifies the disks to be attached. For details, see Table 2.

**Table 2** **volumeAttachment** field data structure description
Parameter	Mandatory	Type	Description
volumeId	Yes	String	Specifies the ID of the disk to be attached to a BMS.
device	No	String	Specifies the mount point, such as /dev/sda and /dev/sdb. The new disk mount point cannot be the same as an existing one. The mount point must be specified based on the sequence of existing device names. Otherwise, the system automatically generates a mount point.
