Migrating a ROOT volume

Hello,

As per CS admin guide ROOT volume can be migrated. But in UI I don't see an option to detach disk from a stopped disk.
And if I try to detach using API, it fails stating "please specify a datadisk"

Can someone please clarify.

Regards,
Girish

Thanks Devdeep. 
So is that the only way to migrate a ROOT volume i.e. only as part of vm migrate ?
 In case of datadisk I can migrate it via Storage->Volume->Migrate, which I don't see happening with ROOT volume. 
As detach operation is not shown for ROOT volume.

Girish

If the instance is stopped you can go to Instance -> select the instance -> and migrate the instance to another storage pool. This will move the root volume to the specified storage pool.
