Sorry. I meant it should be like maintenance state. Somehow pulled a brain fart and mixed up the two sets of states.
Put the mgmtserver into maintenance -> moves into prepare for maintenance. This means the mgmtserver stops taking new jobs and prepares to hand off all agents and just wait for existing jobs to finish. When all jobs are done, state goes to maintenance and mgmt server can be shutdown. If there are any problems with the agent handoffs and/or jobs waiting to the done then it goes into error in maintenance. Admin can inspect and decide to shutoff or put it into maintenance again after fixing the problems. --Alex > -----Original Message----- > From: Alex Huang [mailto:alex.hu...@citrix.com] > Sent: Thursday, April 10, 2014 4:41 PM > To: dev@cloudstack.apache.org > Subject: RE: Remove Mgmt Server > > +1 > > It should be similar to how our resources have states: > enable/disable/inactive.
