Koushik, I understand that and I will put the storage into the maintenance mode 
next time. However, things happen and servers crash from time to time, which is 
not the reason to reboot all host servers, even those which do not have any 
running vms with volumes on the nfs storage. The bloody agent just rebooted 
every single host server regardless if they were running vms with volumes on 
the rebooted nfs server. 95% of my vms are running from ceph and those should 
have never been effected in the first place.

The primary storage needs to be put in maintenance before doing any 
upgrade/reboot as mentioned in the previous mails.
