OpenStack – Detaching volumes from an instance Since Cinder Volumes are persistent storage and the best way of thinking of them is as a USB drive, this means that you can only attach them to a single computer at a time. When you remove a USB drive from the computer, you can then move it to another one and attach it. The same principle works with Nova Volumes. To detach a volume, we use another Nova Client option volume-detach.
To begin with, ensure you are logged into the Ubuntu client that has access to Nova Client tools. These packages can be installed using the following commands:
Carry out the following steps to detach a volume using Nova Client:
nova volume-list

Detaching cinder volume is no different from removing a USB stick from a computer. We first unmount the volume from our running instance. Then, we detach the volume from the running instance using nova volume-detach from Nova Client.
nova volume-detach has the following syntax:
nova volume-detach instance_id volume_id
instance_id is the ID from the Attached to column returned from nova volume-list for the instance we want to detach the volume from the volume id column from the nova volume-list command.
