Attach a Volume

This dialog box lets you attach an EBS volume to an instance running in the same availability zone.

  1. Start typing the identifier of the volume to attach into the Volume text box (the volume is already in the text box if you navigated to this dialog from the Manage Volumes screen). A list of matching volumes will appear; select the volume from the list.
  2. Start typing the instance identifier into the Instance text box (this instance is pre-selected for you if you navigated to this dialog from the Manage Instances screen). A list of matching instances will appear; select the instance from the list.
  3. To optionally specify a device name to use for the attached volume, type the device name into the Attach as device text box.
  4. Click the Attach Volume button.
