Detaching a Volume from a Virtual Machine

Detach a volume to disconnect it from a virtual machine and keep it for future use. (You can also permanently delete it from the everRun Enterprise system, as described in Removing a Volume from a Virtual Machine.)

To detach a volume from a virtual machine

1. Open the Virtual Machines page (see The Virtual Machines Page).
2. Select a VM and click Shutdown.
3. When the VM has stopped, click Config to display the Reprovision Virtual Machine wizard.
4. Click Next to skip the Name, Description, Protection and OS page. (If applicable, see Reprovisioning Virtual Machine Resources to configure additional VM resources.)
5. On the Volumes page, locate the volume to detach. (If the volume is not visible, scroll down on the wizard page.)

6. Above the volume name, click Detach to mark the volume for detachment.

   Caution: Be careful to mark the correct volume to detach, avoiding any volumes that are currently in use.
7. Click Next on each wizard page until the Configuration Summary page is displayed. Verify the configuration changes.
8. Click Finish to detach the selected volume.
