Hi, all: When making CloudStack API calls on VM instances, many APIs accept parameters to filter VM instances based on domain, pod, and host, where the VM instances belong to. However, we can’t filter VM instances based on the cluster! I am wondering if this is a deliberate design decision or

I assume by "managed storage", you guys mean primary storages, either zone -wide or cluster-wide. For Xen hypervisor, ACS does not support "zone-wide" primary storage yet. Still, I can live migrate a VM with data disks between clusters with storage migration from web GUI, today. So, your state
