Disk name

The disk name and storage type cannot be changed. To modify these parameters, you must delete the disk and create a new one. The disk size can be changed only by increasing it.

Deleting

Disk with client

A disk cannot be deleted if a client is attached to it. In this case, you must first detach the disk from the client, and then delete it.
A disk also cannot be deleted if it has snapshots — delete all snapshots first, after which the disk can be removed.
