Increasing Block Storage volumes via the Instance API

Reviewed on 26 August 2024Published on 10 January 2020

Before you start

To complete the actions presented below, you must have:

  • A Scaleway account logged into the console
  • Owner status or IAM permissions allowing you to perform actions in the intended Organization
  • A valid API key
  • A Block Storage volume
  1. Inspect the volume and verify its name, size, and if the type is b_ssd by running the following request.

    curl -q -H "X-Auth-Token: $SECRET_KEY" -X GET https://api.scaleway.com/instance/v1/zones/<REGION>/volumes/<VOLUME_ID>
    Note

    Replace REGION with the geographical region of the Instance. This value can either be fr-par-1, fr-par-2, or fr-par-3 for Instances located in Paris, nl-ams-1, nl-ams-2 or nl-ams-3 for Instances located in Amsterdam, or pl-waw-1, pl-waw-2, or pl-waw-3 for Instances located in Warsaw. Replace VOLUME_ID with the unique identifier of the volume, which can be found on the Scaleway console under Instances > Volumes > More info (for the selected volume).

    The following response should appear as an output:

    {"volume": {"creation_date": "2020-06-02T08:04:50.094118+00:00", "server": null, "id": "<VOLUME_ID>", "size": 25000000000, "name": "myAwesomeVolume", "zone": "<REGION>", "export_uri": null, "volume_type": "b_ssd", "modification_date": "2020-06-02T08:04:50.094118+00:00", "state": "available", "organization": "<ORGANIZATION_ID>"}}
  2. To modify the volume size, run the request below:

    curl https://api.scaleway.com/instance/v1/zones/REGION/volumes/VOLUME_ID -H "X-Auth-Token: $SECRET_KEY" -X PATCH -H 'Content-Type: application/json;charset=utf-8' --data '{ "name":"new_name", "size":26000000000 }'

Replace REGION and VOLUME_ID following the guidelines mentioned previously and replace the existing size value with the new one.

Note

You can use the same request to change the name of your volume by replacing new_name with another of your choice. If you do not wish to change the volume name, erase "name":"new_name", from the request before running it.

A response appears confirming the changes:

{"volume": {"creation_date": "2020-06-02T08:04:50.094118+00:00", "server": null, "id": "VOLUME_ID", "size": 26000000000, "name": "new_name", "zone": "REGION", "export_uri": null, "volume_type": "b_ssd", "modification_date": "2020-06-02T08:08:27.385208+00:00", "state": "resizing", "organization": "ORGANIZATION_ID"}}
