## Managing Data Volumes[​](#managing-data-volumes "Direct link to Managing Data Volumes")

To manage data volumes, navigate to the Dedicated, Flex, or On-Demand VDC through the main menu **“Data Centers”**, and select the submenu **“Storage, Named Disks”**. On the screen that opens, you can view all existing volumes of the previously selected VDC.

## Storage Policies[​](#storage-policies "Direct link to Storage Policies")

The submenu **Storage -> Storage Policies** shows the storage policies that determine the space quota available, and the assured IOPS delivery based on the contracted Tier, which may vary between I, II, and III.

![](https://docs.equinix.com/assets/images/br-ehc-data-volumes-vdc-storage-policies-3696998382b22c51399b704d463e5e63.png)

Storage policies define where the operating system disk and/or data volumes are stored and the performance they deliver (IOPS), based on the Managed Storage **Tier I, II, or III** contracted for your environment.

**Maximum supported limits (per disk/volume):**

* **VHD (OS boot, snapshots, local catalog)** – up to **100 GiB** (recommended for OS disks)
* **Managed Storage Tier I** – up to **8 TiB**
* **Managed Storage Tier II** – up to **8 TiB**
* **Managed Storage Tier III** – up to **8 TiB**

> **Important**
>
> Respect the maximum values above to ensure proper functionality. Exceeding these limits is unsupported. For definitions and contractual limits, see **Service Specifications**.

**Expanding storage beyond the operating system disk**

For storage requirements that exceed the operating system disk limits, attach additional high‑performance data volumes using the Equinix Hybrid Cloud Managed Storage solution. Managed Storage supports Tier I, Tier II, and Tier III storage policies. Each data volume can be provisioned up to 8 TB, subject to your contracted storage quota.

## Create and Attach Volume[​](#create-and-attach-volume "Direct link to Create and Attach Volume")

1. In the submenu **Storage, Named Disks**, click **NEW**.

   | Storage Policy    | Defines the storage policy.                                                                                                                                         |
   | IOPS              | The IOPS quota will be defined according to the Tier selected for the new volume based on the contracted storage policy.                                            |
   | Size of Disk      | Enter the size for the new volume, with the maximum limit being the storage policy quota or the Equinix Hybrid Cloud operating limit, stipulated at 8TB per volume. |
   | Bus Type          | SCSI is the default option. Other options must only be used in extreme cases, for legacy operating systems.                                                         |
   | Bus Sub-Type      | Preferably select the SCSI Paravirtual option, following the recommendations used to obtain performance levels based on the contracted storage policy.              |

2. Review the information and click **SAVE**.

3. Wait for the new volume addition task to be completed in **Recent Tasks**.

4. Select the new volume and click **ATTACH**. In the next window, select the desired virtual machine and click **APPLY**.

   ![](https://docs.equinix.com/assets/images/br-ehc-data-volumes-create-disks-recent-attach-92cddc5c9cd8082b1e8157624b9f7656.png)

> **Important**
>
> After completing the **ATTACH** process, follow the required steps in the [Guest OS](https://docs.equinix.com/managed-solutions/regional/brazil/gms-brazil-ehc-vapps-vms.md) to format and access the new volume.

## Detach and Delete Cloud Volume[​](#detach-and-delete-cloud-volume "Direct link to Detach and Delete Cloud Volume")

The process of detaching the data volume can be performed at any time online. However, it is recommended to detach the data volume within the Guest OS to avoid reading and writing operations, and to prevent any data from being damaged.

### Detach Cloud Volume[​](#detach-cloud-volume "Direct link to Detach Cloud Volume")

1. Ensure disk accesses are interrupted through the Guest OS or, in extreme cases, turn off the virtual machine to avoid I/O operations.

2. In the submenu **Storage, Named Disks**, select the desired volume and click **Detach**. In the displayed window, click **OK**.

   ![](https://docs.equinix.com/assets/images/br-ehc-data-volumes-detach-7d9969ae1446c5348fc1de9eda9b5779.png)

### Delete Cloud Volume[​](#delete-cloud-volume "Direct link to Delete Cloud Volume")

Ensure the correct volume is selected and detached, and then click **DELETE**.

![](https://docs.equinix.com/assets/images/br-ehc-data-volumes-delete-8f544ee4f2f116a74524a1ca2f8bfd9e.png)

> **Important**
>
> The Delete process is irreversible. Before confirming, affirm the removal process and verify that there is a backup of information and its integrity.
