Task 8: Add a Block Volume

After a block volume is created, you attach the volume to one or more instances. You can use the volume like a regular hard drive.

Avoid entering confidential information in names and tags.

1. Click the Compute Cloud@Customer Console Dashboard, and click Block Storage/View Block Volumes.

2. Click Create Block Volume.

3. In the Create Block Volume dialog box, enter the following information:

   • Name: Enter a descriptive name for your block volume.

   • Create in Compartment: Select the Sandbox compartment.

   • Size: Leave the default size (1024 GB).

   • Backup Policy: Don't select a backup policy.

   • Tags: Leave blank. This tutorial doesn't use tags.

4. Click Create Block Volume.

5. Monitor the state of the new block volume.

   The state is displayed above the icon for the object. You can also scroll down to the Resources section and check the Work Request.

   Initially, the block volume is in the provisioning state. When the volume changes to the available state, you can attach it to your instance.
