Let's check that both volumes are visible&#x20;

I have now deleted the test-2 server and attached its volume to another server.

After deleting the instance, you will see that the volume is now available. Attach this volume to another instance.

Now open another instance, test-,1, and navigate to the volume section, click on the attach volume.&#x20;
