Import a volume

You can bring a volume image into E2E from a public Object Storage URL, creating a volume from it. This is how you move a volume’s data back from another region after an export, or bring in a volume image from outside. The URL must belong to E2E Object Storage.

Before you begin

• The volume image stored in an E2E Object Storage bucket, with a public URL. See Create a bucket.

Import the volume

1. Open Storage > Volumes.
2. Click Import Volume.
3. Paste the Public URL of the volume image. It must belong to E2E Object Storage.
4. Enter a Custom Volume Name (letters, digits, underscores, and hyphens, up to 64 characters).
5. Choose the Volume Size. If your image’s size does not match a plan exactly, you get the next larger available size, priced and given IOPS for that size.
6. Confirm.

The volume is created and appears with the status Available when it is ready, and can then be attached to a node.

The new volume holds the image’s data and shows Available, ready to attach to a node. When an import fails, Troubleshooting Volumes has the causes.
