Disconnecting disks

Last published : Jul 06, 2026
The Management Server console lets you disconnect or detach one or more disks. This operation is used to remove a disk from Storage Foundation control.
You cannot disconnect a disk if the selected disk group is not a Storage Foundation disk group or if it is not in an imported state.
To perform this task, your user group must be assigned the Admin role on the host or the Server perspective. The permission on the host may be explicitly assigned or inherited from a parent Organization.
To disconnect a disk
  1. In the Management Server console, go to the Server perspective and expand Manage in the left pane.
  2. Expand the Organization or Uncategorized Hosts to locate the host.
  3. Expand the host and then expand Disk Groups and click on theDisks tab.
  4. Right-click on the selected disk and select Disconnect Disk.
  5. In the Disconnect Disk wizard panel, confirm the disk you want to disconnect. Click OK.
  6. In the Result panel, verify that the selected disk has been disconnected successfully.
