Tagging a Volume Group at Creation

Add metadata to a volume group when you first create it. This metadata enables you to define keys and values and to associate them with resources.

If you have permissions to create a resource, then you also have permissions to apply free-form tags to that resource. To apply a defined tag, you must have permissions to use the tag namespace. For more information about tagging, see Resource Tags. If you're not sure whether to apply tags, skip this option or ask an administrator. You can apply tags later.

1. Open the navigation menu and click Storage. Under Block Storage, click Volume Groups.
2. Click Create volume group.
3. Click Show Tagging Options.
  
  Tag namespace: To add a defined tag, select an existing namespace. To add a free-from tag, leave the value blank.
