16.3 Compute pool lock
After creation of first deployment task, the pool will become locked preventing the pool definition from being
edited. The lock will affect the pool definition itself, the pool template, and the linked I/O pool.
The purpose of the lock is to ensure the pool definition is not unintentionally altered after it has active
deployments.
Note—You can still add and remove devices from the pool when it is locked.
It is possible to unlock the pool which will also unlock the template and I/O pool and re-enable editing.
