Detaching a disk from a VM

The folder specified in the CLI profile is used by default. You can specify a different folder using the --folder-name or --folder-id flag.

1. See the description of the CLI's detach disk command:

   $ yc compute instance detach-disk --help
   

2. Get a list of VMs in the default folder:

   $ yc compute instance list
   +----------------------+-----------------+---------------+---------+----------------------+
   |          ID          |       NAME      |    ZONE ID    | STATUS  |     DESCRIPTION      |
   +----------------------+-----------------+---------------+---------+----------------------+
   | fhm0b28lgfp4tkoa3jl6 | first-instance  | ru-central1-a | RUNNING | my first vm via CLI  |
   | fhm9gk85nj7gcoji2f8s | second-instance | ru-central1-a | RUNNING | my second vm via CLI |
   +----------------------+-----------------+---------------+---------+----------------------+
   

3. Select the ID or NAME of the VM you need (for example, first-instance).

4. Stop the VM:

   $ yc compute instance stop first-instance
   

5. Get a list of disks attached to the VM:

   $ yc compute instance get --full first-instance
   

6. Choose the disk_id of the disk you need (for example, fhm4aq4hvq5g3nepvt9b).

7. Detach the disk:

   $ yc compute instance detach-disk first-instance \
       --disk-id fhm4aq4hvq5g3nepvt9b
   

8. Start the VM:

   $ yc compute instance start first-instance
