CloudStack delete primary storage | How-to Guide

CloudStack is a popular tool that helps us manage storage for VMs, templates, snapshots, and other data. In some cases, the storage devices have to be deleted if they are broken or no longer needed. But before deleting, we have to make sure that all the data is moved to a different device to prevent data loss.

CloudStack delete primary storage

Let’s take a look at how to delete primary storage in CloudStack with a few easy steps:

  1. First, we must log in to CloudStack UI as an administrator.
  2. Then, head to the Storage section.
  3. After that, choose the primary storage device we want to delete.
  4. Next, we must move all the VMs, templates, and snapshots to a different device.
  5. Then, click the Actions button and choose Delete.
  6. Now, we have to wait for the process to finish.

Since deleted data cannot be recovered, we have to ensure that all our data is moved to a secure location before deleting the primary storage.

Deleting primary storage can be necessary when storage devices become faulty or reach the end of their life cycle or when a data center is being decommissioned.
