StoragePool: disable vs maintenance?

Hi

While creating and testing ansible modules for the storagepool API, I
noticed there is a "enabled=true/false" in the update storage API which
enables/disabled the storage (not shown in the UI) and there is a
enableStorageMaintenace/cancelStorageMaintenance API.

Anyone has a clue what are the differences of maintenance vs disabling a
storage? Thanks for enlightenment.

Regards
René

Hi René,

Enabled/disabled is about allocation without affecting running VMs, maintenance will mean VMs get shut down. So if you don’t want a primary LUN to fill up any further but keep running current workload you set enabled=false.
