Hi Oliver,

If you change your array's LUNs' to pre-allocated, this will probably
disable their discard support.
Therefore, after you switch the relevant domains to maintenance, you will
indeed need to disable their Discard After Delete flag.
Also, you will need to disable the Enable Discard flag for all of the disks
that reside on the relevant storage domains before you activate those
domains.
If you forget to disable one of these two options, you will get a warning
on the engine's log telling you that the LUNs' new properties were updated
in the DB but they caused the storage domain <sd_name>  to stop supporting
the specific discard property that you forgot to take care of.

If you got any further questions, please don't hesitate to ask.


Regards,
Idan
