Detaching a volume

Detach a volume from an instance

  1. Detach your volume from a server, specifying the server ID and the volume ID:
$ openstack server remove volume 84c6e57d-a6b1-44b6-81eb-fcb36afd31b5 \
  573e024d-5235-49ce-8332-be1576d323f8
  1. Show information for your volume:
$ openstack volume show 573e024d-5235-49ce-8332-be1576d323f8

The output shows that the volume is no longer attached to the server:
