Creating required virtual hard disks for a virtual machine

Last Updated : Jun 10, 2026 |

About this task

By default, Google Cloud Platform creates a virtual machine with a single virtual hard disk. Avaya Aura® Device Services requires four virtual hard disks. You must add the required virtual hard disks manually.

You must create three additional virtual disks with the following disk sizes:

  • First additional disk (Disk 2): 70 Gb

  • Second additional disk (Disk 3): 40 Gb

  • Third additional disk (Disk 4): 10 Gb

Before you begin

  • Ensure that your virtual machine has 250 Gb of free disk space.

  • Ensure that the size of the primary hard disk where RHEL is installed equals to 125 Gb. If the disk size is not equal to 125 Gb, resize the disk.

Procedure

  1. In the Google Cloud Console, navigate to the VM instances page and select your virtual machine.

    Google Cloud Platform displays the Settings window for the virtual machine.

  2. If the virtual machine is running, click Stop to stop it.
  3. Click Edit.
  4. In the Additional disks area, click Add new disk.

    Google Cloud Platform displays the New Disk window.

  5. In the New Disk window, do the following:
    1. In Name, type a disk name of your choice.

      For example, for the first additional disk, type Disk2.

    2. In Type, select SSD persistent disk.
    3. In Size, type the disk size according to the following table:

      Disk

      Size (Gb)

      First additional disk (Disk 2)

      70

      Second additional disk (Disk 3)

      40

      Third additional disk (Disk 4)

      10
    4. For other parameters, keep the default values.
  6. Click Create and then click Done.
  7. Repeat steps 4 to 6 to create the additional required virtual hard disks.
  8. Click Save.
