Fields
kind

string

[Output Only] Type of the resource. Alwayscompute#storagePool for storage pools.

id

string (uint64 format)

[Output Only] The unique identifier for the resource. This identifier is defined by the server.

creationTimestamp

string

[Output Only] Creation timestamp inRFC3339 text format.

name

string

Name of the resource. Provided by the client when the resource is created. The name must be 1-63 characters long, and comply withRFC1035. Specifically, the name must be 1-63 characters long and match the regular expression[a-z]([-a-z0-9]*[a-z0-9])? which means the first character must be a lowercase letter, and all following characters must be a dash, lowercase letter, or digit, except the last character, which cannot be a dash.

description

string

An optional description of this resource. Provide this property when you create the resource.

poolProvisionedCapacityGb

string (int64 format)

Size of the storage pool in GiB. For more information about the size limits, seehttps://cloud.google.com/compute/docs/disks/storage-pools.

poolProvisionedIops

string (int64 format)

Provisioned IOPS of the storage pool. Only relevant if the storage pool type is hyperdisk-balanced.

poolProvisionedThroughput

string (int64 format)

Provisioned throughput of the storage pool in MiB/s. Only relevant if the storage pool type is hyperdisk-balanced or hyperdisk-throughput.

zone

string

[Output Only] URL of the zone where the storage pool resides. You must specify this field as part of the HTTP request URL. It is not settable as a field in the request body.

state

enum

[Output Only] The status of storage pool creation.

  • CREATING: Storage pool is provisioning.
  • storagePool.
  • FAILED: Storage pool creation failed.
  • READY: Storage pool is ready for use.
  • DELETING: Storage pool is deleting.

selfLink

string

[Output Only] Server-defined fully-qualified URL for this resource.

selfLinkWithId

string

[Output Only] Server-defined URL for this resource's resource id.

labels

map (key: string, value: string)

Labels to apply to this storage pool. These can be later modified by thesetLabels method.

labelFingerprint

string (bytes format)

A fingerprint for the labels being applied to this storage pool, which is essentially a hash of the labels set used for optimistic locking. The fingerprint is initially generated by Compute Engine and changes after every request to modify or update labels. You must always provide an up-to-date fingerprint hash in order to update or change labels, otherwise the request will fail with error412 conditionNotMet.

To see the latest fingerprint, make aget() request to retrieve a storage pool.

A base64-encoded string.

resourceStatus

object

[Output Only] Status information for the storage pool resource.

resourceStatus.lastResizeTimestamp

string

[Output Only] Timestamp of the last successful resize inRFC3339 text format.

resourceStatus.diskCount

string (int64 format)

[Output Only] Number of disks used.

resourceStatus.poolUsedCapacityBytes

string (int64 format)

[Output Only] Space used by data stored in disks within the storage pool (in bytes). This will reflect the total number of bytes written to the disks in the pool, in contrast to the capacity of those disks.

resourceStatus.poolUserWrittenBytes

string (int64 format)

[Output Only] Amount of data written into the pool, before it is compacted.

resourceStatus.totalProvisionedDiskCapacityGb

string (int64 format)

[Output Only] Sum of all the disks' provisioned capacity (in GiB) in this storage pool. A disk's provisioned capacity is the same as its total capacity.

resourceStatus.maxTotalProvisionedDiskCapacityGb

string (int64 format)

[Output Only] Maximum allowed aggregate disk size in GiB.

resourceStatus.poolUsedIops

string (int64 format)

[Output Only] Sum of all the disks' provisioned IOPS, minus some amount that is allowed per disk that is not counted towards pool's IOPS capacity. For more information, seehttps://cloud.google.com/compute/docs/disks/storage-pools.

resourceStatus.totalProvisionedDiskIops

string (int64 format)

[Output Only] Sum of all the disks' provisioned IOPS.

resourceStatus.poolUsedThroughput

string (int64 format)

[Output Only] Sum of all the disks' provisioned throughput in MiB/s.

resourceStatus.totalProvisionedDiskThroughput

string (int64 format)

[Output Only] Sum of all the disks' provisioned throughput in MiB/s, minus some amount that is allowed per disk that is not counted towards pool's throughput capacity.

storagePoolType

string

Type of the storage pool.

status

object

[Output Only] Status information for the storage pool resource.

status.lastResizeTimestamp

string

[Output Only] Timestamp of the last successful resize inRFC3339 text format.

status.diskCount

string (int64 format)

[Output Only] Number of disks used.

status.poolUsedCapacityBytes

string (int64 format)

[Output Only] Space used by data stored in disks within the storage pool (in bytes). This will reflect the total number of bytes written to the disks in the pool, in contrast to the capacity of those disks.

status.poolUserWrittenBytes

string (int64 format)

[Output Only] Amount of data written into the pool, before it is compacted.

status.totalProvisionedDiskCapacityGb

string (int64 format)

[Output Only] Sum of all the disks' provisioned capacity (in GiB) in this storage pool. A disk's provisioned capacity is the same as its total capacity.

status.maxTotalProvisionedDiskCapacityGb

string (int64 format)

[Output Only] Maximum allowed aggregate disk size in GiB.

status.poolUsedIops

string (int64 format)

[Output Only] Sum of all the disks' provisioned IOPS, minus some amount that is allowed per disk that is not counted towards pool's IOPS capacity. For more information, seehttps://cloud.google.com/compute/docs/disks/storage-pools.

status.totalProvisionedDiskIops

string (int64 format)

[Output Only] Sum of all the disks' provisioned IOPS.

status.poolUsedThroughput
