Creating a Disk from a Snapshot
Scenarios
This section describes how to create an EVS disk on the Snapshots page. You can also create an EVS disk from a snapshot by specifying the Create from snapshot parameter on the disk creation page. For details, see Creating an EVS Disk.
Notes and Constraints
- Batch disk creation from a snapshot is not supported.
- A disk created from a snapshot has the same device type (SCSI or VBD), encryption attribute, AZ, region, and disk type as the snapshot's source disk.
- A snapshot whose name starts with autobk_snapshot_vbs_, manualbk_snapshot_vbs_, autobk_snapshot_csbs_, or manualbk_snapshot_csbs_ is automatically generated during backup. Such a snapshot can only be viewed. It cannot be used to create new disks.
Creating an EVS Disk from a Snapshot
- Log in to the console.
- Click
in the upper left corner and select the desired region and project. - Click
in the upper left corner and choose Storage > Elastic Volume Service.The Elastic Volume Service page is displayed.
- In the navigation pane on the left, choose Elastic Volume Service > Snapshots.
The Snapshots page is displayed.
- In the snapshot list, locate the target snapshot and click Create Disk in the Operation column.
- Configure the disk parameters. For details, see parameter descriptions and operations provided in Creating an EVS Disk.
If you create a disk from a snapshot, 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 capacity 10 GiB will be used as the disk capacity; if the snapshot size is greater than 10 GiB, the snapshot size will be used as the disk capacity.
- Click Create Now.
- Confirm the configuration and click Submit.
- In the disk list, view the disk status.
When the disk status changes to Available, the disk is successfully created.
