8.2 Disabling Zones
|
Roles that Can Perform This Task: Cloud Administrator |
The primary purpose for disabling a zone is to perform maintenance tasks on the Cloud Manager Orchestration Server without receiving error messages and exceptions in the Cloud Manager console because the server is down. While the zone is disabled, the following occurs:
-
Any objects (hosts, VM templates, and so forth) provided by the zone’s Orchestration Server are no longer displayed in the Cloud Manager console. However, Cloud Manager objects (resource groups, service levels, workload templates, and so forth) are still displayed. A user receives a “Zone Disabled” error when adding, editing, or deleting any Cloud Manager object that includes an Orchestration Server object.
-
Any workloads deployed in the zone continue in their current state (unless an issue with the zone causes them to be stopped). In the Cloud Manager console, a workload’s state displays as “Unknown” and the owner cannot cycle the workload.

-
On the main navigation bar, click
