Transfer a volume to a different Compute Instance

Follow these steps to move a Block Storage volume to a different Compute Instance within the same data center.

📘

Volumes can only be attached to Compute Instances located in the same data center. To migrate data to a different data center, see the Transfer Block Storage data between data centers guide.

1. Detach the volume from the original Compute Instance. See Attach and detach volumes > Detach a volume for instructions.

2. Attach the volume to the desired Compute Instance within the same data center as the volume. See Attach and detach volumes > Attach a volume for instructions.
