Unsubscribe from cache disks or gateway instances

Important
  • Cloud Storage Gateway (CSG) instance

    • After data synchronization is complete, unmount all clients connected to the shares on the gateway and delete all shares on the gateway.

    • You must unsubscribe from all subscription cache disk instances attached to the gateway before you can unsubscribe from the CSG instance.

  • Cache disk instance

    Before you unsubscribe from a subscription cache disk instance, make sure all data is synchronized to your OSS bucket. Then, unmount the clients connected to the share, delete the share, and unsubscribe from the cache disk instance.

  1. To request an unsubscription, go to the Expenses and Costs console and open the Unsubscribe page.

  2. Type: Select Partial Refund.

  3. In the Instance ID search box, enter the cache disk ID or gateway instance ID, and then click Unsubscribe Resource.

    Note
    • You can find the cache disk instance ID on the Caches tab on the gateway details page.

    • When you unsubscribe from a gateway instance, attached cache disks with the same expiration date as the gateway instance are also unsubscribed. You must first unsubscribe from cache disks that have a different expiration date.

  4. On the Unsubscribe Resource page, follow the on-screen instructions to complete the unsubscription and refund.

    Note

    For more information about unsubscription methods, see Unsubscription methods for Alibaba Cloud International.
