Create a volume (Advanced Console)

This article will help you create a new block storage volume.

Volumes are the 'storage disks' in the DataTenant Cloud, like VMDKs in VMWare ESX or VHDs in Microsoft Hyper-V. If you already have a virtual machine running, you can create blank volumes and attach them to your VM for storage. Otherwise, you can create a volume from an image, which will contain the operating system you selected for a new VM.

Begin by downloading PuTTY and installing it onto a Windows or Mac. This will automatically install PuTTYgen, which is a tool for creating keypairs. Open PuTTYgen, and click the 'Generate' option.
