Create a Volume
post
/20160918/volumes
Create a new volume in the specified compartment. The default block volume size is 1024 GB. You can specify a size of 50 to 32768 (50 GB to 32 TB). A volume and instance can be in separate compartments.To set a value for the Synchronous Write Bias, specify logBias for the tag key, with a value of either LATENCY or THROUGHPUT. If this value is not set, the value LATENCY is used. To set a value for the Secondary Cache, specify secondaryCache for the tag key with a value of ALL, METADATA, or NONE. If this value is not set, the value ALL is used.
You may optionally specify a display name for the volume. The display name does not need to be unique, and you can change it. Avoid entering confidential information.
Synchronous Write Bias and Secondary Cache properties can be set by using defined tags. These values can be changed with UpdateVolume. Specify the OraclePCA tag namespace.

Header Parameters
-
opc-retry-token: string
Minimum Length:
1
Maximum Length:64
A token that uniquely identifies a request so it can be retried in case of a timeout or server error without risk of executing that same action again. Retry tokens expire after 24 hours, but can be invalidated before then due to conflicting operations (for example, if a resource has been deleted and purged from the system, then a retry of the original creation request may be rejected).
