A Block Storage volume is a persistent NVMe disk that lives independently of your servers. Once created, it can be attached to any IBEE Cloud server in the same region.

Before you begin

  • An active IBEE Cloud project with a verified account (Verify your account)
  • KYC verification completed — Block Storage requires full account verification

If your account shows a Limited Access banner, complete KYC verification to unlock full access to Block Storage.

Create a volume

1

Open Block Storage

In the portal sidebar, click Block Storage under Infrastructure.

If you have no volumes yet, the page shows a No block volumes yet empty state with an + Add Volume button. Otherwise, click + Add Volume in the top right.

2

Choose a storage type

TypeDescription
NVMe (High Performance)Fast block storage for production workloads
3

Choose a storage location

Select a Storage Location from the dropdown (e.g. AMR 1).

The volume can only be attached to servers in the same region. Pick the region of the server you intend to attach to.

4

Set the storage size

Use the slider, the quick-pick buttons, or Custom GB to enter an exact value:

Quick picksCustom
10 · 20 · 40 · 80 · 100 · 200 · 500 GB · 5 TBAny value from 10 GB to 5 TB

The summary bar updates as you change the size — e.g. 10 GB · NVMe · AMR 1.

5

Set a volume label

Enter a Volume Label — this is the display name for the volume in the portal and the basis for the auto-generated internal name.

  • Lowercase letters, numbers, and hyphens only
  • Example: my-db-volume, redis-data, web-uploads
6

Create the volume

Click + Add Volume. A toast confirms Volume “{label}” is being created, then a Volume Created dialog appears with two actions:

  • Open Volume Details — go straight to the volume’s detail page.
  • Done — return to the volume list.

The volume appears in the list with status Ready within a few seconds.

Volume details

Click any volume in the list to open its detail page. The Overview tab shows:

ReplicasNumber of replicas (default: 2).

Delete on TerminationWhether the volume is deleted when its attached server is deleted. Default: No.

The bottom of the page has the Attached To section. A new volume shows Not attached to any server with an Attach to Server button.

Troubleshooting

Limited Access banner visible Complete KYC verification at portal.ibee.ai/verify to unlock full Block Storage access.

“Lowercase letters, numbers, and hyphens only” error Volume labels can’t contain spaces, dots, underscores, or uppercase characters. Use a hyphen-separated lowercase name.

Volume stuck in creating state Refresh the page. If the volume does not reach Ready within a few minutes, contact IBEE support.
