9.7. Detaching Virtual Machines from a Virtual Machine Pool

You can detach virtual machines from a virtual machine pool. Detaching a virtual machine removes it from the pool to become an independent virtual machine.

Detaching Virtual Machines from a Virtual Machine Pool

  1. Click Compute Pools.
  2. Click the pool’s name to open the details view.
  3. Click the Virtual Machines tab to list the virtual machines in the pool.
  4. Ensure the virtual machine has a status of Down; you cannot detach a running virtual machine.
  5. Select one or more virtual machines and click Detach.
  6. Click OK.
Note

The virtual machine still exists in the environment and can be viewed and accessed from Compute Virtual Machines. Note that the icon changes to denote that the detached virtual machine is an independent virtual machine.
