Volumes service service CLI reference¶

See https://docs.openstack.org/ocata/cli-reference/cinder.html.

These commands allow you to create, list, show details of, delete, and manage volumes, snapshots, and volume types in the Volumes service. The <volume_id_or_name>, <snapshot_id_or_name>, <volume_type_id_or_name>, and <server_id_or_name> in the commands are placeholders that should be replaced with the actual IDs or names of the volumes, snapshots, volume types, and instances (servers).
