Dear All,
I would like to understand about maintenance mode, for example I've two hosts in a cluster and I need to perform firmware upgrade on Host A. Now before I do that I must migrate the virtual machine to Host B, So now Host A is free. Now I can right away turn off the Host A and start firmware upgrade procedure OR first I should say for this host to enter maintenance mode and then turn off ?
Second I want to have clear understanding of standby mode ? Can I also put a host in Standby mode for firmware upgrade or other maintenance activities ?
thanks,
