It's not possible to modify two properties in a single alterVolume SQL statement, which means you can't make both changes within a single change type. If you need to update two of the optional attributes, we recommend using two separate alterVolume change types.

changeComment (optional)

Specifies a new comment on the volume or removes the comment. changeComment has the following nested attributes:

  • comment (string) (optional): overwrites an existing comment with the value you specify.

  • unsetComment (Boolean) (optional): if true, removes a comment that has previously been specified.

changeOwner (optional)

Specifies a new owner of the volume. changeOwner has the following nested attributes: principal (string) (required): the new principal to associate with the volume, such as the email address of an individual user.

renameVolume (optional)

Renames the volume. renameVolume has the following nested attributes: newName (string) (required): the new name of the volume.

setTags (optional)

Sets tags. You can use this to specify new tags or replace existing ones. setTags has the following nested attributes: tags (string) (required): the tags you want to specify. Specify tags using the format 'key'='value'. Separate multiple tags using commas.
