Unsubscribing from Yearly/Monthly EVS Disks

This function is available only in some regions. If you hover over the Unsubscribe button of a non-shared disk and the system displays "This operation cannot be performed. To unsubscribe from this disk, unsubscribe from its initial server", it means that yearly/monthly disks in this region must be unsubscribed from together with their servers and separate disk unsubscription is not supported.

Scenarios

This section describes how to unsubscribe from yearly/monthly EVS disks.

System disks must be unsubscribed from together with their servers.

For how to unsubscribe from data disks, see Table 1.
