AWS Storage Gateway

{'KMSEncrypted': 'boolean', 'KMSKey': 'string'}

Creates a volume on a specified gateway. This operation is only supported in the stored volume gateway type.

The size of the volume to create is inferred from the disk size. You can choose to preserve existing data on the disk, create volume from an existing snapshot, or create an empty volume. If you choose to create an empty gateway volume, then any existing data on the disk is erased.

In the request you must specify the gateway and the disk information on which you are creating the volume. In response, the gateway creates the volume and returns volume information such as the volume Amazon Resource Name (ARN), its size, and the iSCSI target ARN that initiators can use to connect to the volume target.

Request Syntax

client.create_stored_iscsi_volume(
    GatewayARN='string',
    DiskId='string',
    SnapshotId='string',
    PreserveExistingData=True|False,
    TargetName='string',
    NetworkInterfaceId='string',
    KMSEncrypted=True|False,
    KMSKey='string'
)

type GatewayARN:

string

param GatewayARN:

[REQUIRED]

The Amazon Resource Name (ARN) of the gateway. Use the ListGateways operation to return a list of gateways for your account and region.

type DiskId:

string

param DiskId:

[REQUIRED]

The unique identifier for the gateway local disk that is configured as a stored volume. Use ListLocalDisks to list disk IDs for a gateway.

type SnapshotId:

string

param SnapshotId:

The snapshot ID (e.g. "snap-1122aabb") of the snapshot to restore as the new stored volume. Specify this field if you want to create the iSCSI storage volume from a snapshot otherwise do not include this field. To list snapshots for your account use DescribeSnapshots in the Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud API Reference.

type PreserveExistingData:

boolean

param PreserveExistingData:

[REQUIRED]

Specify this field as true if you want to preserve the data on the local disk. Otherwise, specifying this field as false creates an empty volume.

Valid Values: true, false

type TargetName:

string

param TargetName:

[REQUIRED]

The name of the iSCSI target used by initiators to connect to the target and as a suffix for the target ARN. For example, specifying TargetName as myvolume results in the target ARN of arn:aws:storagegateway:us-east-2:111122223333:gateway/sgw-12A3456B/target/iqn.1997-05.com.amazon:myvolume. The target name must be unique across all volumes of a gateway.

type NetworkInterfaceId:

string

param NetworkInterfaceId:

[REQUIRED]

The network interface of the gateway on which to expose the iSCSI target. Only IPv4 addresses are accepted. Use DescribeGatewayInformation to get a list of the network interfaces available on a gateway.

Valid Values: A valid IP address.

type KMSEncrypted:

boolean

param KMSEncrypted:

True to use Amazon S3 server side encryption with your own AWS KMS key, or false to use a key managed by Amazon S3. Optional.

type KMSKey:

string

param KMSKey:

The Amazon Resource Name (ARN) of the KMS key used for Amazon S3 server side encryption. This value can only be set when KMSEncrypted is true. Optional.

rtype:

dict

returns:

Response Structure

• (dict) --

  A JSON object containing the following fields:

  • VolumeARN (string) --

    The Amazon Resource Name (ARN) of the configured volume.

  • VolumeSizeInBytes (integer) --

    The size of the volume in bytes.

  • TargetARN (string) --

    he Amazon Resource Name (ARN) of the volume target that includes the iSCSI name that initiators can use to connect to the target.

{'StorediSCSIVolumes': {'KMSKey': 'string'}}

Returns the description of the gateway volumes specified in the request. The list of gateway volumes in the request must be from one gateway. In the response Amazon Storage Gateway returns volume information sorted by volume ARNs. This operation is only supported in stored volume gateway type.

)

type VolumeARNs:

list

param VolumeARNs:

[REQUIRED]

An array of strings where each string represents the Amazon Resource Name (ARN) of a stored volume. All of the specified stored volumes must from the same gateway. Use ListVolumes to get volume ARNs for a gateway.
