CreateCachediSCSIVolume

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

Note

Cache storage must be allocated to the gateway before you can create a cached volume. Use the AddCache operation to add cache storage to a gateway.

In the request, you must specify the gateway, size of the volume in bytes, the iSCSI target name, an IP address on which to expose the target, and a unique client token. In response, the gateway creates the volume and returns information about it. This information includes the volume Amazon Resource Name (ARN), its size, and the iSCSI target ARN that initiators can use to connect to the volume target.

Optionally, you can provide the ARN for an existing volume as the SourceVolumeARN for this cached volume, which creates an exact copy of the existing volume’s latest recovery point. The VolumeSizeInBytes value must be equal to or larger than the size of the copied volume, in bytes.

Request Parameters

For information about the parameters that are common to all actions, see Common Parameters.

The request accepts the following data in JSON format.

ClientToken

A unique identifier that you use to retry a request. If you retry a request, use the same ClientToken you specified in the initial request.

Type: String

Length Constraints: Minimum length of 5. Maximum length of 100.

Required: Yes

GatewayARN

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

Type: String

Length Constraints: Minimum length of 50. Maximum length of 500.

Required: Yes

KMSEncrypted

Set to 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.

Valid Values: true | false

Type: Boolean

Required: No

KMSKey

The Amazon Resource Name (ARN) of a symmetric customer master key (CMK) used for Amazon S3 server-side encryption. Storage Gateway does not support asymmetric CMKs. This value can only be set when KMSEncrypted is true. Optional.

Type: String

Length Constraints: Minimum length of 7. Maximum length of 2048.

Pattern: (^arn:(aws(|-cn|-us-gov|-iso[A-Za-z0-9_-]*)):kms:([a-zA-Z0-9-]+):([0-9]+):(key|alias)/(\S+)$)|(^alias/(\S+)$)

Required: No

NetworkInterfaceId

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: String

Pattern: \A(25[0-5]|2[0-4]\d|[0-1]?\d?\d)(\.(25[0-5]|2[0-4]\d|[0-1]?\d?\d)){3}\z

Required: Yes

SnapshotId

The snapshot ID (e.g. "snap-1122aabb") of the snapshot to restore as the new cached 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: String

Pattern: \Asnap-([0-9A-Fa-f]{8}|[0-9A-Fa-f]{17})\z

Required: No

SourceVolumeARN

The ARN for an existing volume. Specifying this ARN makes the new volume into an exact copy of the specified existing volume's latest recovery point. The VolumeSizeInBytes value for this new volume must be equal to or larger than the size of the existing volume, in bytes.

Type: String

Length Constraints: Minimum length of 50. Maximum length of 500.

Required: No

Tags

A list of up to 50 tags that you can assign to a cached volume. Each tag is a key-value pair.

Note

Valid characters for key and value are letters, spaces, and numbers that you can represent in UTF-8 format, and the following special characters: + - = . _ : / @. The maximum length of a tag's key is 128 characters, and the maximum length for a tag's value is 256 characters.

Type: Array of Tag objects

Required: No

TargetName

The name of the iSCSI target used by an initiator to connect to a volume and used 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 on a gateway.

If you don't specify a value, Storage Gateway uses the value that was previously used for this volume as the new target name.

Type: String

Length Constraints: Minimum length of 1. Maximum length of 200.

Pattern: ^[-\.;a-z0-9]+$

Required: Yes

VolumeSizeInBytes

The size of the volume in bytes.

Type: Long

Required: Yes

Response Syntax

   "TargetARN": "string",
   "VolumeARN": "string"
}

Response Elements

If the action is successful, the service sends back an HTTP 200 response.

The following data is returned in JSON format by the service.

TargetARN

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

Type: String

Length Constraints: Minimum length of 50. Maximum length of 800.

VolumeARN

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

Type: String

Length Constraints: Minimum length of 50. Maximum length of 500.

Errors

For information about the errors that are common to all actions, see Common Errors.

InternalServerError

An internal server error has occurred during the request. For more information, see the error and message fields.

HTTP Status Code: 400

InvalidGatewayRequestException

An exception occurred because an invalid gateway request was issued to the service. For more information, see the error and message fields.

HTTP Status Code: 400
