Volumes can only be attached to Linodes 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 Linode. See Attach and detach volumes > Detach a volume for instructions.

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