Create and Attach a Persistent Volume in Compute

Create and Attach a Persistent Volume in Compute

Start from the AlchemiStudio Compute page and open the Volumes section, where persistent disks are managed.

The page displays existing volumes and provides an option to create a new one. Currently no volumes exist.

This launches the form where you specify the volume name, size, and tags.

With the dialog open, you can configure the volume settings before creating it.

With the New volume dialog open, place your cursor in the Name field to begin typing the volume identifier.

The name field updates as you type, helping you choose a descriptive identifier for the persistent disk. Input: [input captured]

Complete the name entry; this label will appear in the volumes list and must be unique within the account. Input: [input captured]

The Size field determines the storage capacity and monthly cost shown below the input.

With the volume name and size entered, the Tags field lets you add labels like env:dev or team:ml to organize and filter volumes across your workspace.

With the New volume dialog open and all fields filled, the action bar at the bottom offers Cancel to discard or Create volume to save the new persistent disk.

Submits the form and provisions the new volume. The dialog closes and the Volumes page refreshes to show Storage Database in the table.

On the Volumes page, the table lists your persistent disks. The VOLUME column displays each disk’s name and identifier.

Clicking the row highlights the newly created volume and reveals inline actions. The volume is currently not mounted to any sandbox.

After the volume is created, the Volumes table displays the new Storage Database volume with an Attach action in its row.

Clicking Attach launches the form where you choose a sandbox and mount path for the volume.

The dialog explains that a volume can only be mounted by one sandbox at a time and prompts you to select a sandbox.

With the Attach Storage Database dialog open, the dropdown reveals available sandboxes and a search field.

Inside the Attach Storage Database dialog, the search field lets you filter the list of available sandboxes by name or identifier.

With the sandbox menu expanded, the Suggestions section displays recommended sandboxes that can mount the volume.

Choosing a sandbox populates the Sandbox field and reveals the Mount path input, where you specify where the volume will be accessible.

With the sandbox and mount path configured, this action mounts Storage Database to the selected sandbox and closes the dialog.

The volume row now shows Storage Database is mounted to the sandbox at /mnt/data, confirming the attachment succeeded.

Opens the detach confirmation for the Storage Database volume, allowing you to unmount it from the sandbox.
