Create a volume
A Block Storage volume is a persistent NVMe disk that lives independently of your servers. Once created, it can be attached to any IBEE Solutions server in the same region.
Before you begin
- An active IBEE Solutions organization with a verified account (Verify your account)
- KYC verification completed — Block Storage requires full account verification
- Sufficient wallet credits — the platform checks your billing state before creating a volume (Billing and usage)
If your account shows a Limited Access banner, complete KYC verification to unlock full access to Block Storage.
Create a volume
Open Block Storage
In the portal sidebar, click Block Storage under Products.
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.
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.
Set the storage size
Use the slider, the quick-pick buttons, or Custom GB to enter an exact value:
The summary bar updates as you change the size — e.g. 10 GB · NVMe · AMR 1 — along with the estimated monthly and hourly cost.
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.

Create the volume
Click Create Volume. The platform first runs a billing admission check against your organization’s wallet. If your balance is sufficient, the volume is created. If not, a Billing needs attention popup appears — click Add Credits to top up your wallet and return.
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.
