Cloud Parallel File Storage:CreateProtocolService

Last Updated:Dec 03, 2025

Creates a protocol service for a Cloud Parallel File Storage (CPFS) file system. The creation takes about 5 to 10 minutes.

Operation description

  • This operation is available only to Cloud Parallel File Storage (CPFS) file systems.

  • Only CPFS V2.3.0 and later support protocol services. You can query the version information of the file system by calling the DescribeFileSystems operation.

  • Protocol service types

    Protocol services are classified into general-purpose protocol services and cache protocol services. Different from general-purpose protocol services, cache protocol services can cache hot data. If data exists in the cache, the bandwidth of the cache protocol service may exceed the bandwidth of the CPFS file system, reaching the maximum bandwidth specified for the protocol service.

    • General-purpose protocol services: provide NFS access and directory-level mount targets for CPFS file systems. You do not need to configure a POSIX client to manage clusters. The compliance package check feature is free of charge.
    • Cache protocol services: provide the server memory cache based on the least recently used (LRU) policy. When data is cached in the memory, CPFS provides higher internal bandwidth. Cache protocol services are divided into Cache L1 and Cache L2 specifications. The differences are the internal bandwidth size and memory cache size.

    **

    Note You are charged for using cache protocol services, which are in invitational preview. For more information about the billing method of cache protocol services, see Billable items. If you have any feedback or questions, you can join the DingTalk group (group number: 31045006299).

  • Protocol Type

    Only NFSv3 is supported.

  • Others

    • Only one protocol service can be created for a CPFS file system.
    • A protocol service can use a maximum of 32 IP addresses that are allocated by a specified vSwitch. Make sure that the vSwitch can provide sufficient IP addresses.

Debugging

You can run this interface directly in OpenAPI Explorer, saving you the trouble of calculating signatures. After running successfully, OpenAPI Explorer can automatically generate SDK code samples.

Authorization information

The following table shows the authorization information corresponding to the API. The authorization information can be used in the Action policy element to grant a RAM user or RAM role the permissions to call this API operation. Description:

  • Operation: the value that you can use in the Action element to specify the operation on a resource.
  • Access level: the access level of each operation. The levels are read, write, and list.
  • Resource type: the type of the resource on which you can authorize the RAM user or the RAM role to perform the operation. Take note of the following items:
    • For mandatory resource types, indicate with a prefix of * .
    • If the permissions cannot be granted at the resource level, All Resources is used in the Resource type column of the operation.
  • Condition Key: the condition key that is defined by the cloud service.
  • Associated operation: other operations that the RAM user or the RAM role must have permissions to perform to complete the operation. To complete the operation, the RAM user or the RAM role must have the permissions to perform the associated operations.

Request parameters

ParameterTypeRequiredDescriptionExample
FileSystemIdstringYes

The ID of the file system.

cpfs-123****
ProtocolSpecstringYes

The specification of the protocol service.

Set the value to General (default).

Valid values:

  • CL2
  • General
  • CL1
General
ThroughputintegerNo

The throughput of the protocol service.

Unit: MB/s.

8000
ProtocolTypestringYes

The protocol type of the protocol service.

Valid value: NFS (default). Only NFSv3 is supported.

NFS
DescriptionstringNo

The description of the protocol service. The name of the protocol service appears in the console.

Limits:

  • The description must be 2 to 128 characters in length.
  • The description must start with a letter and cannot start with http:// or https://.
  • The description can contain letters, digits, colons (:), underscores (_), and hyphens (-).
test
VpcIdstringYes

The virtual private cloud (VPC) ID of the protocol service. The VPC ID of the protocol service must be the same as the VPC ID of the file system.

vpc-123****
VSwitchIdstringYes

The vSwitch ID of the protocol service.

vsw-123****
DryRunbooleanNo

Specifies whether to perform a dry run.

The dry run checks parameter validity and prerequisites. The dry run does not create a protocol service or incur fees.

Valid values:

  • true: performs only a dry run and does not create the protocol service. The system checks the request format, service limits, prerequisites, and whether the required parameters are specified. If the request fails the dry run, an error message is returned. If the request passes the dry run, the HTTP status code 200 is returned. No value is returned for the ProtocolServiceId parameter.
  • false (default): performs a dry run and sends the request. If the request passes the dry run, a protocol service is created.
false
ClientTokenstringNo

The client token that is used to ensure the idempotence of the request. You can use the client to generate the token, but you must make sure that the token is unique among different requests.

The token can contain only ASCII characters and cannot exceed 64 characters in length. For more information, see How do I ensure the idempotence?

Note If you do not specify this parameter, the system automatically uses the request ID as the client token. The request ID may be different for each request.
