Removing a Volume from a Virtual Machine

Remove a virtual machine (VM) volume to permanently delete it from the everRun system. (You can also detach a volume from the VM but keep it for future use, as described in Detaching a Volume from a Virtual Machine.)

Notes:

If you remove a volume, and you also want to remove its volume container to reclaim space in the storage group, you must remove any volume snapshots stored in the volume container; otherwise, the container remains on the system. To remove a VM snapshot and all of its associated volume snapshots, see Removing a Snapshot.
When all volume and volume snapshot contents have been removed from a volume container, the system automatically removes the container from the system, which frees up space in the storage group.
You cannot remove a volume that is attached to a VM if the VM is protected with Disaster Recovery. If necessary, you can unprotect the VM, remove the volume, and then protect the VM again.

Prerequisite: Before removing a volume attached to a virtual machine, you must shut down the virtual machine.
