Creates a disk in the specified folder.

You can create an empty disk or restore it from a snapshot or an image.
Method starts an asynchronous operation that can be cancelled while it is in progress.

Field	Description
folderId	string Required field. ID of the folder to create a disk in. To get the folder ID use a yandex.cloud.resourcemanager.v1.FolderService.List request.
name	string Name of the disk.
description	string Description of the disk.

typeId	string ID of the disk type. To get a list of available disk types use the yandex.cloud.compute.v1.DiskTypeService.List request.
zoneId	string Required field. ID of the availability zone where the disk resides. To get a list of available zones use the yandex.cloud.compute.v1.ZoneService.List request.

snapshotId	string ID of the snapshot to restore the disk from. Includes only one of the fields `imageId`, `snapshotId`.
blockSize	int64 Block size used for disk, specified in bytes. The default is 4096.
diskPlacementPolicy	DiskPlacementPolicy Placement policy configuration.
snapshotScheduleIds[]	string List of IDs of the snapshot schedules to attach the disk to.
hardwareGeneration	HardwareGeneration Specify the overrides to hardware_generation of a source disk, image or snapshot, or to the default values if the source does not define it.
kmsKeyId	string ID of KMS key for disk encryption.

DiskPlacementPolicy

Field

Description

placementGroupId

string

Placement group ID.

placementGroupPartition

int64

A set of features, specific to a particular Compute hardware generation.
They are not necessary supported by every host OS or distro, thus they are fixed to an image
and are applied to all instances created with it as their boot disk image.
These features significantly determine how the instance is created, thus cannot be changed after the fact.

Field

Description

legacyFeatures

LegacyHardwareFeatures

Includes only one of the fields legacyFeatures, generation2Features.

generation2Features

Generation2HardwareFeatures

Includes only one of the fields legacyFeatures, generation2Features.

LegacyHardwareFeatures

A first hardware generation, by default compatible with all legacy images.
Allows switching to PCI_TOPOLOGY_V2 and back.

Field

Description

pciTopology

enum PCITopology

PCI_TOPOLOGY_UNSPECIFIED
PCI_TOPOLOGY_V1
PCI_TOPOLOGY_V2

Generation2HardwareFeatures

A second hardware generation, which by default assumes PCI_TOPOLOGY_V2
and UEFI boot (with UEFI related features).

An Operation resource. For more information, see Operation.

Field	Description
id	string ID of the operation.
description	string Description of the operation. 0-256 characters long.
createdAt	google.protobuf.Timestamp Creation timestamp.
createdBy	string ID of the user or service account who initiated the operation.
modifiedAt	google.protobuf.Timestamp The time when the Operation resource was last modified.
done	bool If the value is `false`, it means the operation is still in progress. If `true`, the operation is completed, and either `error` or `response` is available.
metadata	CreateDiskMetadata Service-specific metadata associated with the operation. It typically contains the ID of the target resource that the operation is performed on. Any method that returns a long-running operation should document the metadata type, if any.
error	google.rpc.Status The error result of the operation in case of failure or cancellation. Includes only one of the fields `error`, `response`. The operation result. If `done == false` and there was no failure detected, neither `error` nor `response` is set. If `done == false` and there was a failure detected, `error` is set. If `done == true`, exactly one of `error` or `response` is set.
response	Disk The normal response of the operation in case of success. If the original method returns no data on success, such as Delete, the response is google.protobuf.Empty. If the original method is the standard Create/Update, the response should be the target resource of the operation. Any method that returns a long-running operation should document the response type, if any. Includes only one of the fields `error`, `response`. The operation result. If `done == false` and there was no failure detected, neither `error` nor `response` is set. If `done == false` and there was a failure detected, `error` is set. If `done == true`, exactly one of `error` or `response` is set.

CreateDiskMetadata

Field

Description

diskId

string

ID of the disk that is being created.

Disk

A Disk resource. For more information, see Disks.

Field	Description
id	string ID of the disk.
folderId	string ID of the folder that the disk belongs to.
createdAt	google.protobuf.Timestamp
name	string Name of the disk. 1-63 characters long.
description	string Description of the disk. 0-256 characters long.
labels	string Resource labels as `key:value` pairs. Maximum of 64 per resource.
typeId	string ID of the disk type.
zoneId	string ID of the availability zone where the disk resides.
size	int64 Size of the disk, specified in bytes.
blockSize	int64 Block size of the disk, specified in bytes.
productIds[]	string License IDs that indicate which licenses are attached to this resource. License IDs are used to calculate additional charges for the use of the virtual machine. The correct license ID is generated by the platform. IDs are inherited by new resources created from this resource. If you know the license IDs, specify them when you create the image. For example, if you create a disk image using a third-party utility and load it into Object Storage, the license IDs will be lost. You can specify them in the yandex.cloud.compute.v1.ImageService.Create request.
status	enum Status Current status of the disk. `STATUS_UNSPECIFIED` `CREATING`: Disk is being created. `READY`: Disk is ready to use. `ERROR`: Disk encountered a problem and cannot operate. `DELETING`: Disk is being deleted.
sourceImageId	string ID of the image that was used for disk creation. Includes only one of the fields `sourceImageId`, `sourceSnapshotId`.
sourceSnapshotId	string ID of the snapshot that was used for disk creation. Includes only one of the fields `sourceImageId`, `sourceSnapshotId`.
instanceIds[]	string Array of instances to which the disk is attached.
diskPlacementPolicy	DiskPlacementPolicy Placement policy configuration.
hardwareGeneration	HardwareGeneration If specified, forces the same HardwareGeneration features to be applied to the instance created using this disk as a boot one. Otherwise the current default will be used.
kmsKey	KMSKey Key encryption key info.
