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.

Environment

• Private Cloud Director Virtualization - v2025.4 and Higher
• Self-Hosted Private Cloud Director Virtualization - v2025.4 and Higher
• Self-Hosted Private Cloud Director Kubernetes - v2025.4 and Higher

Procedure

1. These steps can only be run as admin. Source the RC file with the admin credentials.

$ source <RC_FILE>

1. Get the UUID of the volume whose status that needs to be changed.

$ openstack volume list

1. Change the status using the following command.

$ openstack volume set --state <DESIRED_STATE> <VOLUME_UUID>

Validation

Verify if the volume state has changed.

$ openstack volume show <VOLUME_UUID>
