gcloud_compute_instances_detach-disk (1)
NAME
- gcloud compute instances detach-disk - detach disks from Compute Engine virtual machine instances
SYNOPSIS
-
gcloud compute instances detach-disk INSTANCE_NAME (--device-name=DEVICE_NAME | --disk=DISK) [--zone=ZONE] [GCLOUD_WIDE_FLAG ...]
DESCRIPTION
gcloud compute instances detach-disk is used to detach disks from virtual
Detaching a disk without first unmounting it may result in incomplete I/O operations and data corruption. To unmount a persistent disk on a Linux-based image, ssh into the instance and run:
- $ sudo umount /dev/disk/by-id/google-DEVICE_NAME
POSITIONAL ARGUMENTS
-
- INSTANCE_NAME
-
Name of the instance to operate on.
REQUIRED FLAGS
-
-
Exactly one of these must be specified:
-
- --device-name=DEVICE_NAME
-
Specifies a disk to detach by its device name, which is the name that the guest
operating system sees. The device name is set at the time that the disk is
attached to the instance, and needs not be the same as the persistent disk name.
If the disk's device name is specified, then its persistent disk name must not
be specified using the --disk flag.
- --disk=DISK
-
Specifies a disk to detach by its resource name. If you specify a disk to remove
by persistent disk name, then you must not specify its device name using the
--device-name flag.
-
-
Exactly one of these must be specified:
OPTIONAL FLAGS
-
- --zone=ZONE
-
Zone of the instance to operate on. If not specified, you may be prompted to
select a zone. gcloud will attempt to identify the zone by searching for
resources in your project. If the zone cannot be determined, you will then be
prompted with all Google Cloud Platform zones.
To avoid prompting when this flag is omitted, you can set the compute/zone property:
- $ gcloud config set compute/zone ZONE
A list of zones can be fetched by running:
- $ gcloud compute zones list
To unset the property, run:
- $ gcloud config unset compute/zone
Alternatively, the zone can be stored in the environment variable CLOUDSDK_COMPUTE_ZONE.
GCLOUD WIDE FLAGS
These flags are available to all commands: --account, --configuration, --flags-file, --flatten, --format, --help, --log-http, --project, --quiet, --trace-token, --user-output-enabled, --verbosity. Run $ gcloud help for details.
