Hi, all:

In ACS web GUI, on the Pod Details page, the fields “Start IP” and “End IP” are 
editable.  This IP range is reserved for systemVM’s (SSVM/CPVM).  When I built 
my ACS environments three years ago, I gave this a large range without fully 
understanding what it is for.  Now I am short of IPs on the management network, 
I would like to reduce this reserved range so that I can use some extra IP for 
other things, like more hypervisor hosts!

When I try to trim some IP off either end, I get an error message: “The 
specified pod has allocated private IP addresses. So its IP address range can 
be extended only”, even though I know for facts that my system VM’s are not 
using any of the IP’s that I am trying to free up.

So, I did the obvious thing:  disabled the zone, and deleted all the SSVM and 
CPVM’s. I even restarted the management service.  However, when I try again to 
edit “Start IP” and/or “End IP” fields on the Pod details page, I still get the 
same error message above, even though now I have zero system VM! This does not 
seem to be correct to me.

I guess, at this point, my only solution is to do direct DB modifications.  Can 
someone please tell me which table contains this information?  If any of you 
have successfully modified pod start/end IP without going direct DB hacks, 
please share your approaches.

Thanks

Yiping
