detach_volume

Operation

detach_volume async

detach_volume(input: DetachVolumeInput, plugins: list[Plugin] | None = None) -> DetachVolumeOutput

Detaches an EBS volume from an instance. Make sure to unmount any file systems on the device within your operating system before detaching the volume. Failure to do so can result in the volume becoming stuck in the busy state while detaching. If this happens, detachment can be delayed indefinitely until you unmount the volume, force detachment, reboot the instance, or all three. If an EBS volume is the root device of an instance, it can't be detached while the instance is running. To detach the root volume, stop the instance first.

When a volume with an Amazon Web Services Marketplace product code is detached from an instance, the product code is no longer associated with the instance.

You can't detach or force detach volumes that are attached to Amazon Web Services-managed resources. Attempting to do this results in the UnsupportedOperationException exception.

For more information, see Detach an Amazon EBS volume in the Amazon EBS User Guide.

Parameters:

Name Type Description Default
input DetachVolumeInput

An instance of DetachVolumeInput.

required
plugins list[Plugin] | None

A list of callables that modify the configuration dynamically. Changes made by these plugins only apply for the duration of the operation execution and will not affect any other operation invocations.

None

Returns:

Type Description
DetachVolumeOutput

An instance of DetachVolumeOutput.

Input

DetachVolumeInput dataclass

Bases: _SerdeShape

Dataclass for DetachVolumeInput structure.

Attributes

device class-attribute instance-attribute
device: str | None = ...

The device name.

dry_run class-attribute instance-attribute
dry_run: bool | None = ...

Checks whether you have the required permissions for the action, without actually making the request, and provides an error response. If you have the required permissions, the error response is DryRunOperation. Otherwise, it is UnauthorizedOperation.

force class-attribute instance-attribute
force: bool | None = ...

Forces detachment if the previous detachment attempt did not occur cleanly (for example, logging into an instance, unmounting the volume, and detaching normally). This option can lead to data loss or a corrupted file system. Use this option only as a last resort to detach a volume from a failed instance. The instance won't have an opportunity to flush file system caches or file system metadata. If you use this option, you must perform file system check and repair procedures.

instance_id class-attribute instance-attribute
instance_id: str | None = ...

The ID of the instance. If you are detaching a Multi-Attach enabled volume, you must specify an instance ID.

volume_id class-attribute instance-attribute
volume_id: str | None = ...

The ID of the volume.

Output

DetachVolumeOutput dataclass

Bases: _SerdeShape

Describes volume attachment details.

Attributes

associated_resource class-attribute instance-attribute
associated_resource: str | None = ...

The ARN of the Amazon Web Services-managed resource to which the volume is attached.

attach_time class-attribute instance-attribute
attach_time: datetime | None = ...

The time stamp when the attachment initiated.

delete_on_termination class-attribute instance-attribute
delete_on_termination: bool | None = ...

Indicates whether the EBS volume is deleted on instance termination.

device class-attribute instance-attribute
device: str | None = ...

The device name.

If the volume is attached to an Amazon Web Services-managed resource, this parameter returns null.

ebs_card_index class-attribute instance-attribute
ebs_card_index: int | None = ...

The index of the EBS card. Some instance types support multiple EBS cards. The default EBS card index is 0.

instance_id class-attribute instance-attribute
instance_id: str | None = ...

The ID of the instance.

If the volume is attached to an Amazon Web Services-managed resource, this parameter returns null.

instance_owning_service class-attribute instance-attribute
instance_owning_service: str | None = ...

The service principal of the Amazon Web Services service that owns the underlying resource to which the volume is attached.

This parameter is returned only for volumes that are attached to Amazon Web Services-managed resources.

response_metadata class-attribute instance-attribute
response_metadata: ResponseMetadata = ...

Metadata about the response that produced this output. Use this to recover the request identifiers a service's support team needs in order to investigate a call. Members of the metadata are individually optional.

state class-attribute instance-attribute
state: str | None = ...

The attachment state of the volume.

volume_id class-attribute instance-attribute
volume_id: str | None = ...

The ID of the volume.
