Creating and Initializing a Disk (Linux-based VMs)

Create and initialize a disk to make it available for storing data in a Linux-based virtual machine.

To create and initialize a disk in a Linux-based virtual machine

1. In the everRun Availability Console, create a new volume in a storage group, as described in Creating a Volume in a Virtual Machine.
2. In the Linux-based virtual machine, use the volume management tool or edit files as needed to initialize and mount the volume. See your Linux documentation for complete instructions.

The disk device names for a Linux-based virtual machine are /dev/vda through /dev/vdh, not the standard /dev/sda through /dev/sdh. The everRun virtual disk volumes appear in the guest operating system and are used as if they were physical disks.
