Shutdown the instance.
In the tab "Volumes", track which secondary volumes are attached to the VM to be rescued and detach them.
IMPORTANT:verify that the bootable volume won't be erased when deleting the VM!
- To do this check, execute the command "openstack server show volume list <id-vm-to-be-rescued>", have a look in to the field "volumes_attached " and check that all the volumes listed have the property "delete_on_terminations=termination?" that must be set to 'False' ". (Note that this will work with openstack-cli >= 6.2.0)
- NB: In case you don't have access to the OpenStack CLI, please contact superc@cineca.it
