Elastic Compute Service:AttachDisk

Last Updated:Sep 29, 2024

Attaches a pay-as-you-go data disk or a system disk to an Elastic Compute Service (ECS) instance. The instance and the disk must reside in the same zone.

Operation description

Usage notes

Take note of the following items:

  • The disk must be in the Unattached (Available) state.

  • When you attach the disk as a data disk to an ECS instance, take note of the following items:

    • The ECS instance must be in the Running (Running) or Stopped (Stopped) state.
    • If the disk was separately purchased, the billing method of the disk must be pay-as-you-go.
    • If the disk is a system disk that was detached from an ECS instance, no limits apply to the billing method of the disk.
    • If the disk is an elastic ephemeral disk that was detached from an ECS instance, the disk can be attached only to the instance.
  • When you attach the disk as the system disk to an ECS instance, take note of the following items:

    • The ECS instance must be the original instance from which the system disk was detached.
    • The ECS instance must be in the Stopped (Stopped) state.
    • Logon credentials must be configured.
    • The disk cannot be an elastic ephemeral disk.
  • If the response contains {"OperationLocks": {"LockReason" : "security"}} when you query information about an ECS instance, the instance is locked for security reasons and no operations are allowed on the instance.

Debugging

OpenAPI Explorer automatically calculates the signature value. For your convenience, we recommend that you call this operation in OpenAPI Explorer.

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:
    • The required resource types are displayed in bold characters.
    • 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
InstanceIdstringYes

The ID of the instance to which you want to attach the disk.

i-bp1dq5lozx5f4pmd****
DiskIdstringYes

The ID of the disk. The disk specified by DiskId and the instance specified by InstanceId must reside in the same zone.

Note For more information about the limits on attaching a data disk and a system disk, see the "Usage notes" section of this topic.
d-bp1j4l5axzdy6ftk****
DevicestringNo

The device name of the disk.

Note This parameter will be removed in the future. We recommend that you use other parameters to ensure future compatibility.
testDeviceName
DeleteWithInstancebooleanNo

Specifies whether to release the disk when the instance is released.

  • true: releases the disk when the instance is released.
  • false: does not release the disk when the instance is released. The disk is retained as a pay-as-you-go data disk.

Default value: false.

When you specify this parameter, take note of the following items:

  • If OperationLocks in the DescribeInstances response contains "LockReason" : "security" for the instance to which the disk is attached, the instance is locked for security reasons. Regardless of whether you set DeleteWithInstance to false, the DeleteWithInstance setting is ignored, and the disk is released when the instance is released.
  • If you want to attach an elastic ephemeral disk, you must set DeleteWithInstance to true.
  • This parameter is unavailable for disks for which the multi-attach feature is enabled.
false
BootablebooleanNo

Specifies whether to attach the disk as a system disk.

Default value: false.

Note You can set Bootable to true only if the instance does not have a system disk.
false
PasswordstringNo

The password that is set when you attach the system disk. The password is applicable only to the administrator and root users. The password must be 8 to 30 characters in length and must contain at least three of the following character types: uppercase letters, lowercase letters, digits, and special characters. The following special characters are supported:

()`~!@#$%^&*-_+=|{}[]:;'<>,.?/

For Windows instances, passwords cannot start with a forward slash (/).

Note If Password is configured, we recommend that you send requests over HTTPS to prevent password leaks.
EcsV587!
KeyPairNamestringNo

The name of the SSH key pair that you bind to the Linux instance when you attach the system disk.

  • Windows instances do not support logons based on SSH key pairs. The Password parameter takes effect even if the KeyPairName parameter is specified.
  • For Linux instances, the username and password-based logon method is disabled by default.
KeyPairTestName
ForcebooleanNo

Specifies whether to forcefully attach the disk to the instance.

  • true
  • false

Default value: false.

false
