Hi Harikrisha:
First - the title is a bit confusing; granular and global seems
contradictory. Regardless - this is a great move forward.
I don't understand why we would inject a new API command
(update{storage,cluster,zone,account}levelparamater) instead of just
using updateZone, updateAccount, updateStoragePool, etc. For instance,
I would expect that listZone would tell me the status of the
zone-level options. So why wouldn't updateZone be capable of setting
the options.
