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:  
Prerequisite: Before removing a volume attached to a virtual machine, you must shut down the virtual machine.
To remove a volume that is attached to 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 on each wizard page until the Volumes page is displayed. (If applicable, see Reprovisioning Virtual Machine Resources to configure additional VM resources.)
  5. On the Volumes page, locate the volume to delete. (If the volume is not visible, scroll down on the wizard page.)

  6. Click Delete beside the volume name to mark the volume for deletion.

    Caution: Be careful to mark the correct volume to remove, 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 permanently delete the selected volume.
To remove an unattached volume
Caution: Before removing a volume, ensure that it is no longer needed by other administrators.
  1. Open the Volumes page.
  2. Select an unattached volume. (The VM column must read None, otherwise, the Remove button is not displayed.)
  3. Click Remove.
