Well, There is a button, take a look at the SS I took: http://postimg.org/image/5sr7yxyud/
I am curious, why does the CS allocate system VMs’ VDI on local SR on Xen hypervisor? Why not use the primary storage of the cluster in which the host is in? I looked at the code, and it is hard coded there, Xen hosts have to have a local SR, otherwise you cannot add them into CS (first time I saw that I found it very weird, I even sent an email about it, but did not get any reply). That does not seem to happen with other hypervisors. Now that you mentioned the maintenance mode, I noticed that system VMs are not being migrated when I put its host in maintenance, I thought that was a normal behavior (weird one but normal, given that those VMs are using the local SR of the Xen hypervisor).
