This page shows you how to get information about Filestore instances.
Before you begin
If you want to use the command-line examples in this page, enable the gcloud
command-line tool by installing the Cloud SDK.
Getting information about all instances
You can get information about your Filestore instances by going to the Filestore instances page:
Go to the Filestore instances page
or by running the instances list
command:
gcloud filestore instances list --project=project-id --zone=zone
where:
project-id is the project ID of the Cloud project that contains the Filestore instance. You can skip this flag if the Filestore instance is in the
gcloud
default project. You can set the default project by running:gcloud config set project project-id
zone is the GCP zone for which you want to list Filestore instances. If you skip this flag, instances in all zones are returned. Run the
gcloud filestore zones list
command to get a list of supported zones.
The response to the instances list
command is similar to the following:
INSTANCE_NAME ZONE TIER CAPACITY_GB FILE_SHARE_NAME IP_ADDRESS STATE CREATE_TIME nfs-loc europe-west1-b BASIC_HDD 1024 nfs1 10.0.5.2 READY 2017-10-09T22:11:28 nfs3 us-central1-c BASIC_HDD 1024 acme 10.0.6.2 READY 2017-11-06T09:37:18
Example
The following command lists all of the Filestore instances
in project myproject
:
gcloud filestore instances list --project=myproject
Getting information about a specific instance
Use one of the following procedures to get information about a specific Filestore instance.
Cloud Console
Go to the Filestore instances page.
Click the instance ID to open the instance details page.
gcloud
Get information about a Filestore instance by running the
instances describe
command:
gcloud filestore instances describe instance-id --project=project-id --zone=zone
The response to the instances describe
command is similar to the following:
createTime: '2019-10-11T17:28:23.340943077Z' fileShares: - capacityGb: '1024' name: vol1 name: projects/yourproject/locations/us-central1-c/instances/nfs-server networks: - ipAddresses: - 10.0.0.2 network: default reservedIpRange: 10.0.0.0/29 state: READY tier: BASIC_HDD
These fields represent the following values:
createTime
: The time the instance was created, in RFC 3339 format.fileShares
:capacityGb
: The size of the Filestore file share in binary gigabytes (GB
), where 1GB
= 10243 bytes.name
: The name of the Filestore file share. You can use this along with the IP address identified by theipAddresses
value to mount the file share on a client.name
: The fully qualified name of the instance.ipAddresses
: The IP address for the instance. Use this value along with the file share name to mount the Filestore file share on a client.network
: The name of the VPC network that the instance uses.reservedIpRange
: The IP address block reserved for the use of the instance.state
: The state of the instance.tier
: The Filestore service tier of the instance.
Example
The following command provides information about the test-nfs
instance in
project myproject
, in zone us-central1-c
.
gcloud filestore instances describe test-nfs --project=myproject --zone=us-central1-c
What's next
- Create another instance.
- Mount the Filestore file share on a Compute Engine VM instance.
- Access the Filestore file share from a Google Kubernetes Engine cluster.
