Stopping volumes

Last published : Jun 19, 2026
The Management Server console lets you stop a volume on a managed host and make it unavailable to an application.
You can stop one or more volumes on a managed host. An error page is displayed if the selected volume is not a Storage Foundation volume. This operation can be performed only on a volume of an imported disk group.
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 stop a volume
  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 Volumes to locate the volume to be stopped.
  4. Right-click on the required volume and select Stop.
  5. In the Stop Volume wizard panel, confirm the volume you want to stop. Click OK.
  6. In the Result panel, verify that the selected volume has been stopped successfully.
