Daan, We have a procedure for doing that. The problem in general has to do with the large capacity of the secondary storage so it's actually better to do migration of data outside of cloudstack with some manual process in stages and then just fix up the secondary storage in the database.
I do agree having an API to do these fixups are better than direct database manipulations. --Alex > -----Original Message----- > From: Daan Hoogland [mailto:daan.hoogl...@gmail.com] > Sent: Thursday, May 30, 2013 11:39 AM > To: dev > Subject: Re: maintenance mode for secondary storage? > > Yes Chiradeep, > > That or maintenance on the secondary storage machine itself. > > > On Thu, May 30, 2013 at 7:46 PM, Chiradeep Vittal < > chiradeep.vit...@citrix.com> wrote: > > > I can see a use for that: that the secondary storage becomes read-only > > during the maintenance (so no template creation/snapshots/etc).
