Description

Attaches an EBS volume to a running or stopped instance and exposes it to the instance with the specified device name.

Usage

ec2_attach_volume(Device, InstanceId, VolumeId, DryRun)

Arguments

Device

[required] The device name (for example, /dev/sdh or xvdh).

InstanceId

[required] The ID of the instance.

VolumeId

[required] The ID of the EBS volume. The volume and instance must be within the same Availability Zone.

DryRun

Checks whether you have the required permissions for the action, without actually making the request, and provides an error response. If you have the required permissions, the error response is DryRunOperation. Otherwise, it is UnauthorizedOperation.

Request syntax

svc$attach_volume(
  Device = "string",
  InstanceId = "string",
  VolumeId = "string",
  DryRun = TRUE|FALSE
)

Details

Encrypted EBS volumes may only be attached to instances that support Amazon EBS encryption. For more information, see Amazon EBS Encryption in the Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud User Guide.

For a list of supported device names, see Attaching an EBS Volume to an Instance. Any device names that aren't reserved for instance store volumes can be used for EBS volumes. For more information, see Amazon EC2 Instance Store in the Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud User Guide.

If a volume has an AWS Marketplace product code:

• The volume can be attached only to a stopped instance.

• AWS Marketplace product codes are copied from the volume to the instance.

• You must be subscribed to the product.

• The instance type and operating system of the instance must support the product. For example, you can't detach a volume from a Windows instance and attach it to a Linux instance.

For more information about EBS volumes, see Attaching Amazon EBS Volumes in the Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud User Guide.

Examples

# NOT RUN {
# This example attaches a volume (``vol-1234567890abcdef0``) to an
# instance (``i-01474ef662b89480``) as ``/dev/sdf``.
# }
# NOT RUN {
svc$attach_volume(
  Device = "/dev/sdf",
  InstanceId = "i-01474ef662b89480",
  VolumeId = "vol-1234567890abcdef0"
