  • Rules​

    • The Volume and the Virtual Machine must belong to the same tenant.

    • The Volume's state must be "in-use".
    • The Virtual Machine's state must be "stopped".

Other commands:​

  • Notes​

    • Verify the state and status of your Volume using the
  • block-storage volume get --id [uuid] command.

#### Troubleshooting
- A failure during detachment can result in the Volume becoming stuck in the
 busy state. If this occurs, detachment may be delayed indefinitely until you
 unmount the Volume, force detachment, reboot the instance, or perform all
 three.
