I try to create an instance with a local attached SSD on GCE. I used the command from the docs:

gcloud compute instances create foobz \
     --machine-type n1-standard-8 \
     --zone us-central1-f \
     --local-ssd interface=nvme \
     --local-ssd interface=nvme \
     --image nvme-backports-debian-7-wheezy-v20141108 \
     --image-project gce-nvme

result:

ERROR: (gcloud.compute.instances.create) Some requests did not succeed:
 - Invalid value for field 'resource.diskTypes': 'projects/xxx/zones/us-central1-f/diskTypes/local-ssd'.  Resource was not found.

My gcloud is up to date

  • What did Google support say about this? – EEAA Jun 11 '15 at 13:38

    The command is good. If you run it from a GCE linux machine it will work. I'll try to test it on a OS X computer tomorrow. – Kamran Jun 11 '15 at 18:45
  • @EEAA well... the support is pointing to servervault or Google Groups – soupdiver Jun 12 '15 at 09:42

    I tested the command on Mac OS X and it worked. did you try this command from a GCE VM instance to make sure the issue is not related to your project? – Kamran Jun 15 '15 at 02:39

My account was a trial account. It seems SSDs are only available for full accounts.
