patching hosts with VM affinity rules

I have a cluster that have VMs with affinity rules in place. How do I put the hosts in maintenance mode without deleting and recreating the rules?

You have to manually move them and set DRS to Manual Mode after doing that to ensure they aren't migrated automatically instantly. that is the problem with affinity and anti-affinity rules, DRS will aim to adhere to them. Same for "VM-to-Host" must rules.
