How to put a CloudGuard VM in maintenance mode during resize using lvm_manager?

[Sarath_M]

We have deployed the VM with a size of 350 GB initially. The sk111089 mentions to complete the remaining steps by following sk95566. But sk95566 mentions in Important notes to put the device in Maintenance mode.

I can only see normal mode in /boot/grub/menu.1st file.

Is it sufficient to run cpstop command to make sure no other process interferes when I run lvm_manager?

Any considerations that i have to take for VM's in cluster?

If I recall correctly lvm_manager will run cpstop before starting the resizing work.

Running vsec(cloudguard) on our vmware platforms, we haven't really used maintenance mode to extend the disks.
