StorageGateway / Client / attach_volume

attach_volume

StorageGateway.Client.attach_volume(**kwargs)

Connects a volume to an iSCSI connection and then attaches the volume to the specified gateway. Detaching and attaching a volume enables you to recover your data from one gateway to a different gateway without creating a snapshot. It also makes it easier to move your volumes from an on-premises gateway to a gateway hosted on an Amazon EC2 instance.

Request Syntax

response = client.attach_volume(
    GatewayARN='string',
    TargetName='string',
    VolumeARN='string',
    NetworkInterfaceId='string',
    DiskId='string'
)
Parameters:

  • GatewayARN (string) –

    [REQUIRED]

    The Amazon Resource Name (ARN) of the gateway that you want to attach the volume to.

  • TargetName (string) –

    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.

  • VolumeARN (string) –

    [REQUIRED]

    The Amazon Resource Name (ARN) of the volume to attach to the specified gateway.

  • NetworkInterfaceId (string) –

    [REQUIRED]

    The network interface of the gateway on which to expose the iSCSI target. Accepts IPv4 and IPv6 addresses. Use DescribeGatewayInformation to get a list of the network interfaces available on a gateway.

    Valid Values: A valid IP address.

  • DiskId (string) – The unique device ID or other distinguishing data that identifies the local disk used to create the volume. This value is only required when you are attaching a stored volume.

Return type:

dict
