3.6.4. Detaching a Storage Domain from a Data Center

Summary

Detaching a storage domain from a data center will stop the data center from associating with that storage domain. The storage domain is not removed from the Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization environment; it can be attached to another data center.

Data, such as virtual machines and templates, remains attached to the storage domain.

Note

The master storage, if it is the last available storage domain, cannot be removed.
