Unmounting clustered file systems

Last published : Jun 19, 2026
The Management Server console lets you unmount a clustered file system that has been mounted on one or more nodes of a cluster in your data center.
You cannot unmount a file system if the file system:
  • Resides on a host that runs on Windows.
  • Has one or more checkpoints that have been mounted. For these types of file systems, you must first unmount the checkpoints before unmounting the file system from the host.
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 unmount a clustered file system
  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 and select the host.
  3. Expand the host and select Volumes.
  4. Right-click on the required volume and select File System>Unmount.
  5. In the Unmount Cluster File System wizard panel, specify the required information. Click OK.
See Unmount Clustered File System panel options.
  1. In the Result page, verify that the selected clustered file system has been unmounted.
