How To Reset Volume States

Problem

Private Cloud Director block storage volumes can be in the following states: "reserved", “error”, “creating”, “deleting”, “in-use”, “attaching”, “detaching”, “error_deleting” or “maintenance”.

Sometimes the volumes might be in a state that does not reflect their present condition. For example, a failed live migration might set the volume state to "error". However, it is possible to access and edit the data inside the volume. In such a case, it becomes necessary to reset the volume state to reflect its actual condition.

This option updates the volume's state in the database without verifying its actual condition. Use with caution.
