When you detach a persistent disk, the disk is stored and the instant clone is deleted. By detaching a persistent disk, you can store and reuse user-specific information with another virtual machine.
A detached disk is stored in the current datastore. Detaching a secondary persistent disk does not result in the deletion of the instant clone desktop.
Prerequisites
A user must be assigned to the desktop to detach a persistent disk.
Procedure
-
In Horizon Console, select Inventory > Persistent Disks.
-
In the Attached tab, select the persistent disk with a user assigned and click Detach
Results
After detaching, the status changes to Detach Persistent Disk. The instant clone associated with the disk is deleted and the persistent disk appears in the detached section.
