Attaching a Volume to a Virtual Machine

Attach a volume to connect a currently unused volume to a virtual machine.

To attach a volume to a virtual machine

1. Ensure that the volume you want to attach is not in use by another virtual machine; otherwise, you cannot attach it. Open the Volumes page, locate the volume, and ensure that the value in the VM column is None.
2. Open the Virtual Machines page (see The Virtual Machines Page).
3. Select a VM and click Shutdown.
4. When the VM has stopped, click Config to display the Reprovision Virtual Machine wizard.
5. Click Next to skip the Name, Description, Protection and OS page. (If applicable, see Reprovisioning Virtual Machine Resources to configure additional VM resources.)

6. On the Volumes page, locate the pulldown menu next to the Add a new volume button. Select an unattached volume from the pulldown menu and click Attach.

   (If the pulldown menu is not visible, scroll down to the bottom of the wizard page. The pulldown menu is displayed only if there are unattached volumes on the everRun Enterprise system.)

7. Click Next on each wizard page until the Configuration Summary page is displayed. Verify the configuration changes.
8. Click Finish to attach the selected volume.
