Deleting an EVS Disk

Scenarios

If an EVS disk is no longer used, you can delete it to release virtual resources.

Constraints

• An EVS disk can be deleted only when its status is available, error, error_extending, error_restoring, or error_rollbacking.

• Before deleting a shared EVS disk, ensure that the disk has been detached from all its servers.

Important

• When you delete an EVS disk, all the disk data including the snapshots created for this disk will be deleted. Exercise caution when performing this operation.

• Deleted EVS disks cannot be recovered. Exercise caution when performing this operation.

Involved APIs

Query the disk list, obtain the ID of the target disk, and then delete the disk.

To meet the preceding requirements, call the following APIs:

• Query EVS disks.

• Delete an EVS disk.

Procedure

1. Query EVS disks.

   • API information

     URI format: GET /v3/{project_id}/volumes

     For details, see OpenStack Cinder API v3 > EVS Disk > Querying EVS Disks in the Elastic Volume Service API Reference.

   • Example request

     GET /v3/000efdc5f9064584b718b181df137bd7/volumes

   • Example response

2. Delete the disk.

   • API information

     URI format: DELETE /v3/{project_id}/volumes/{volume_id}

     For details, see OpenStack Cinder API v3 > EVS Disk > Deleting an EVS Disk in the Elastic Volume Service API Reference.

   • Example request

     DELETE /v3/000efdc5f9064584b718b181df137bd7/baremetalservers/5850a7e7-88dd-4d99-8439-347de8cc0dd7/volume/50ef9435-ca68-4b9b-a837-73377b9fdaa3?cascade=true

     Note

     cascade=true indicates that the snapshots created for the disk will also be deleted.

   • Example response

     None

     or

     {
         "error": {
             "message": "XXXX",
             "code": "XXX"
         }
     }
     

     In the preceding example, error indicates a general error, for example, badRequest or itemNotFound. An example is provided as follows:

     {
         "badRequest": {
             "message": "XXXX",
             "code": "XXX"
         }
     }
