prevent disks from being created on primary storage volume
Hi Guys,
Is it possible to prevent new disks from being created on a particular primary storage volume? I'm using NFS storage.
I don't want to stop the instances that are currently using it, just prevent any more disks from being created there.
Thanks
Len

A very good suggestion.
Very lacking this functionality during the migration process where we would
like to prevent to run new machines on storages from which we want to
migrate instances.

Thanks Geoff,
How would that affect my instance if I need to reboot it, or shut down / start it? Would it be prevented from starting because the service offering tags that the instance has would no longer match that of the volume?

Hi Len,
As Saksham has highlighted, using Storage Tags is the way to achieve this.
1. Apply tags to the Primary Storage (both this one and the alternate you still want to use) 2. Assuming you have not been using storage tags, update the compute and storage offerings with the new tags, excluding the tags applied to the storage you want to stop from being used by new VMs/Volumes 3. For good measure, for the VMs which you are happy to continue using this storage, I would create some new offerings using the appropriate tags, and apply them to the existing VMs/Volumes
Kind Regards

You can try adding tags on primary storage you want to use, and use the same tags for the disk offering.

I think CS should have the ability to enable/disable a storage pool just
like we have it for hosts/clusters/pods/zones. Disabling it just disables
the pool for further vm allocation.
It would great if you could open an enhancement for the same in JIRA.
