cf ic create volume error in bluemix

Question

I need an advice for a trouble with "cf ic create volume" in bluemix for a days. I want to know the cause of the failure, whether bluemix's issue or issues in my setup procedure.

The command and response in the Docker Quickstart Terminal on Windows Server 2012R2:

     $ cf ic create volume testvol

Error response from daemon:

  "incident_id": "1455-1484451778.065-3843854",

Answer 1

You are typing the wrong command to create the volume. The correct command to create a volume is:

$ cf ic volume create VOLUME_NAME

cf ic create will try to create a new container and it is expecting that volume is the image name, hence the error you are seeing.
