Create a Volume
Eucalyptus offers persistent storage that you can attach to a running instance.
These Eucalyptus block storage (EBS) volumes persist autonomously from the running life of
an instance. After you attach a block volume to an instance, you can use it like any other
physical hard drive.
Create a Volume with the Console
-
Click the Create Volume link at the top of the
Manage Volumes screen. The Create
Volume dialog box will appear.

If you would like to create a volume from an existing snapshot, select the
snapshot from the Create from snapshot? drop-down
listbox.

Enter the size of the volume in gigabytes in the Volume Size
(GB) text box.
Note: If you're creating a volume from a snapshot, you can't enter a volume
size that's smaller than the original snapshot you've selected.
-
Select an availability zone from the Availability
Zone drop-down list box.
Note: You can only attach a volume to an instance in the same availability zone.
