if remember correctly, by design disabling a cluster will stop user VM deploy in this cluster but does not exclude it from systemvm's destination; and vmware based cluster is always chosen as the destination when vmware systemvm template is ready. this should be a bug, primary storage's status should also be considered when spin up the systemvm.
