# Adding a disk to a placement group


{% note warning %}

Due to the technical features of the Yandex Cloud infrastructure, we cannot guarantee that you will be able to add an existing [non-replicated disk](../../concepts/disk.md#nr-disks) to a [placement group](../../concepts/disk-placement-group.md). However, you will certainly be able to [create](../disk-create/nonreplicated.md#nr-disk-in-group) a [disk](../../concepts/disk.md) directly in the group.

{% endnote %}

You can only place a non-replicated disk in a single group, which must reside in the same [availability zone](../../../overview/concepts/geo-scope.md).

To add a disk to a placement group:

{% list tabs group=instructions %}

- Management console {#console}

  1. In the [management console](https://console.yandex.cloud), select the [folder](../../../resource-manager/concepts/resources-hierarchy.md#folder) in which you want to add a disk to a placement group.
  1. Navigate to **Compute Cloud**.
  1. In the left-hand panel, select ![image](../../../_assets/console-icons/copy-transparent.svg) **Placement groups**.
  1. Navigate to the **Non-replicated disk placement groups** tab.
  1. Select the placement group to add a disk to.
  1. Go to the **Disks** panel and click ![image](../../../_assets/plus-sign.svg) **Add disk**.
  1. In the window that opens, select the disk you want to add.

     For [partition placement](../../concepts/disk-placement-group.md#partition) groups, specify the partition number.
  1. Click **Add**.


- API {#api}

  Use the [update](../../api-ref/Disk/update.md) REST API method for the [Disk](../../api-ref/Disk/index.md) resource or the [DiskService/Update](../../api-ref/grpc/Disk/update.md) gRPC API call.

  To request a list of available disks, use the [list](../../api-ref/Disk/list.md) REST API method for the [Disk](../../api-ref/Disk/index.md) resource or the [DiskService/List](../../api-ref/grpc/Disk/list.md) gRPC API call.
