Yes my first error was to put SD into maintenance, that I don't know
exactly what kind of effects is expected to produce...
Next time I will have better doing what you say

select storage then select a particular SD, then in the below pane
select  datacenter tab, select the DC of the SD and then
maintenance...
what is expected to do?
