Itamar, and others,
Just a little word to explain that I've just finished to test the
feature you described above (automatic master storage domain switching)
and it is working nicely, and very quickly.
This is very cool and useful.
Trying something very similar, but on a production setup, so I don't
want to mess everything : Can I put a master storage domain into
maintenance mode, when it contains some running VMs?
Is yes, what will be the effect?
Will it only transfer the master metadata parts to another storage
domain, or will it also put it into read-only mode or other actions?
Thank you.
