11.3. Disabling and Enabling Zones, Pods, and Clusters

You can enable or disable a zone, pod, or cluster without permanently removing it from the cloud. This is useful for maintenance or when there are problems that make a portion of the cloud infrastructure unreliable. No new allocations will be made to a disabled zone, pod, or cluster until its state is returned to Enabled. When a zone, pod, or cluster is first added to the cloud, it is Disabled by default.
To disable and enable a zone, pod, or cluster:
  1. Log in to the CloudStack UI as administrator
  2. In the left navigation bar, click Infrastructure.
  3. In Zones, click View More.
  4. If you are disabling or enabling a zone, find the name of the zone in the list, and click the Enable/Disable button. enable-disable.png: button to enable or disable zone, pod, or cluster.
