Hello Wei,

As discussed, we raised the PR on Saturday. You can review the changes here:

CloudStack PR #13897 <https://github.com/apache/cloudstack/pull/13897>

In addition to the NetApp ONTAP plugin fixes, the PR also includes a few
common improvements that we believe will benefit the broader CloudStack
codebase.

The key enhancements included in this PR are:

   - Fixed NFS storage pool handling after *Enter Maintenance* and *Cancel
   Maintenance* operations.
   - Restored the *PrimaryDataStoreLifeCycle.updateStoragePool()* call
   required for the *Resize Storage Pool* workflow.
   - Added graceful handling of 404 responses during deletion of:
      - Export Policies
      - ONTAP Volumes
      - ONTAP Snapshots
   - Added validation to ensure only *Active* IP addresses are selected
   during storage pool creation.
   - Enabled instance and volume snapshots for volumes created using
the *Create
   on Storage* workflow.
   - Added support for creating NFSv3 and iSCSI primary storage pools with
   a minimum capacity of 20 MB.
   - Fixed an issue that prevented multiple VMs from being created on
   Oracle Linux hosts.
   - Ensured that iSCSI root disks created using the NetApp ONTAP storage
   plugin always use the *QCOW2* format.

The first two items are orchestrator-related enhancements, while the
remaining fixes are focused on improving the NetApp ONTAP plugin experience.

Could you please help prioritise the review so that we have a chance of
getting these changes included in the 4.23 release?

Thank you for your support.

Regards,
*Rajiv Jain*

*NetApp*
