    Elastic Compute Service:CreateSnapshotGroup

    Last Updated:Dec 26, 2024

    Creates a snapshot-consistent group for the disks of an Elastic Compute Service (ECS) instance. A snapshot-consistent group contains snapshots of one or more disks.

    Operation description

    You can specify InstanceId to create a snapshot-consistent group for disks on a specific ECS instance. You can also specify DiskId.N to create a snapshot-consistent group for multiple disks on multiple ECS instances within the same zone.

    Note You cannot specify both DiskId.N and ExcludeDiskId.N in the same request. If you specify InstanceId, you can use DiskId.N to specify only disks on the specified ECS instance and cannot use DiskId.N to specify disks across ECS instances.

    Take note of the following items:

    • The disks for which you want to create a snapshot must be in the In Use (In_use) or Unattached (Available) state.

      • If a disk is in the In Use (In_use) state, make sure that the ECS instance to which the disk is attached is in the Running (Running) or Stopped (Stopped) state.
      • If a disk is in the Unattached (Available) state, make sure that the disk has been attached to ECS instances. Snapshots cannot be created for disks that have never been attached to an ECS instance.

    • Snapshot-consistent groups can be used to create snapshots only for Enterprise SSDs (ESSDs), ESSD AutoPL disks, and ESSD Entry disks.

    • A snapshot-consistent group can contain snapshots of up to 16 disks, including system disks and data disks, and cannot exceed 32 TiB in size.

    • Snapshots that you created are stored indefinitely until you delete the snapshots. We recommend that you delete unnecessary snapshots on a regular basis to prevent excess snapshot storage fees.

    • Snapshot-consistent groups cannot be created for disks for which multi-attach feature is enabled. If disks for which the multi-attach feature is enabled are attached to an ECS instance, you must specify the ExcludeDiskId.N parameter to exclude the disks.

    For more information about the snapshot-consistent group feature, see Create a snapshot-consistent group.

    Debugging

    You can run this interface directly in OpenAPI Explorer, saving you the trouble of calculating signatures. After running successfully, OpenAPI Explorer can automatically generate SDK code samples.

    Authorization information

    The following table shows the authorization information corresponding to the API. The authorization information can be used in the Action policy element to grant a RAM user or RAM role the permissions to call this API operation. Description:

    • Operation: the value that you can use in the Action element to specify the operation on a resource.
    • Access level: the access level of each operation. The levels are read, write, and list.
    • Resource type: the type of the resource on which you can authorize the RAM user or the RAM role to perform the operation. Take note of the following items:
      • The required resource types are displayed in bold characters.
      • If the permissions cannot be granted at the resource level, All Resources is used in the Resource type column of the operation.
    • Condition Key: the condition key that is defined by the cloud service.
    • Associated operation: other operations that the RAM user or the RAM role must have permissions to perform to complete the operation. To complete the operation, the RAM user or the RAM role must have the permissions to perform the associated operations.

    Request parameters

    ParameterTypeRequiredDescriptionExample
    RegionIdstringYes

    The region ID of the instance. You can call the DescribeRegions operation to query the most recent list of regions.

    		cn-hangzhou
    InstanceIdstringNo

    The instance ID.

    		i-j6ca469urv8ei629****
    InstantAccessbooleanNo

    Specifies whether to enable the instant access feature. Valid values:

    • true
    • false

    Default value: false.

    Note This parameter is no longer used. By default, new standard snapshots of ESSDs are upgraded to instant access snapshots free of charge without the need for additional configurations. For more information, see Use the instant access feature.
    		false
    InstantAccessRetentionDaysintegerNo

    The number of days for which the instant access feature is available. Unit: days. Valid values: 1 to 65535.

    This parameter takes effect only when InstantAccess is set to true. The instant access feature is automatically disabled when the specified duration ends.

    This parameter is left empty by default, which indicates that the instant access feature is automatically disabled when the instant access snapshots are released.

    Note This parameter is no longer used. By default, new standard snapshots of ESSDs are upgraded to instant access snapshots free of charge without the need for additional configurations. For more information, see Use the instant access feature.
