Unable to find way to reduce placement count about piraeus HOT 2 OPEN

The only way I currently know about is manually deleting resources, because LISNTOR is too scared to automatically do it. I think that this is something that will be looked at and changed in future LINSTOR versions, but to my knowledge there is currenty no other way.

Once all resources of a resource group have had their replicas reduced, you can update the resource group itself and it will work.

Thanks WanzenBug, I really thought I was taking it on the wrong way by actually deleting resources. Your quick response is highly appreciated :)

I do think being careful about deletion is great, but having the ability to do this automatically for multiple resources should be possible using a clear force override.

Can I suggest rephrasing the error to read more actionable? Like: “Please reduce placement count of resources by deleting resources from nodes manually using command before reducing the autoPlace property.”
