ESX 3.5 Using Maintenance Mode

[handyman1994]

Regarding maintenance mode. Is there an easier way to move the VM"S to another host or can it only be done manually during maintenance mode for host patching

THX!!

If you put hosts in a DRS cluster, when you put a host in maintenance mode, VM guests can be automatically VMotion'ed over to another host. When the ESX host comes back, they will be VMotion'ed back.

To me, that is, by far, the easiest way.

Hope that helps,
David
