Hi Ahmad, Thanks for the reply. I have no VMs in this setup. I guessed that storage removal option should be allowed after moving it into the maintenance mode, but this operations fails and it is stuck in "Up" state :-)

You'll need a second PS attached to the cluster, so vm's can migrate offe storage that's going into maintenance OR disable the zone and nuke the system vm's power down the guest vm's wait for storage cleanup to run, then try the process of putting the storage into maintenance and removing it.
