Detaches a Pay-As-You-Go disk from an instance. The disk types that support Pay-As-You-Go billing are basic disks, ultra disks, and SSDs.

Description

When you call this operation, note that:

  • The Portable attribute of the disk must be set to true.
  • The disk to be detached must be in the In_use state.
  • The instance that the disk is attached to must be in the Running or Stopped state.
  • The instance must not be locked by security control. The OperationLocks parameter of the ECS instance must not be set to "LockReason": "security".
  • After the disk is detached from an instance, its DeleteWithInstance attribute will be set to false. Because it is no longer attached to the instance, it can no longer be released together with the instance.
  • The DetachDisk operation is asynchronous. After a response is returned, it will take about a minute before the disk is detached.

Debugging

You can use API Explorer to perform debugging. API Explorer allows you to perform various operations to simplify API usage. For example, you can retrieve APIs, call APIs, and dynamically generate SDK example code.
