Disabling a storage pool
Hello folks
Is there a way to disable a particular storage pool so that it won't be
used for further volume allocation? I don't want to enable the maintenance
mode as that will turn off the VM's whose volumes running on that pool. I
don't want to use a global setting also since this will come into effect
after the threshold value is reached.
In some cases even if the pool is just 10% allocated, I still want to
disable it so that the current volumes will keep existing on the same pool
and at the same time further deployment of volumes on this pool is disabled.
I looked at the storge tags options but that involves adding tags to
service offerings and I dont want to mess up with that tags. Should we add
a new api to enable this feature? or any other better suggestion?

Thanks and regards
Rakesh

You confused me David - that API seems new in 4.15 and is related to the
SECONDARY storage, not primary storage - but is great to learn new stuff
every day!
cheers,

There is an icon on the UI which does exactly the same.

The 'enabled' flag does exactly what you want:
'false to disable the pool for allocation of new volumes, true to enable
it back.'
