Detaching an EVS Disk from a BMS

Function

This API is used to detach a disk from a BMS.

  • A disk attached to /dev/sda functions as the system disk. You can only detach the system disk from a stopped BMS.
  • Disks attached to a mount point other than /dev/sda function as data disks and can be detached from a running or stopped BMS.

    Stopped and Running indicate that the BMS is running or stopped.

Constraints

If a BMS is stopped, disks can be detached from it without any limitation on the OS. If a BMS is running, the constraints are as follows:

  • Before detaching an EVS disk from a Linux BMS, log in to the BMS, run the unmount command to disassociate the disk to be detached from the file system, and ensure that no program is reading data from or writing data to the disk. Otherwise, the disk will fail to be detached.
  • Before detaching an EVS disk from a Windows BMS, ensure that no program is reading data from or writing data to the disk. Otherwise, data will be lost.
