Entering Maintencance mode fails

Hi all,

we have 2 ESXi host on Version 6.0. When I want to enter one host in maintanance mode, i got the error: Insufficent resources to satisfy vSphere HA Failover Level on Cluster

In the summary tab of the Cluster it is written: Current Failover Capacity: 1 host

DRS is activated. And I remember that in past the machines were migrated automatically when i entered one host in maintenance mode. CPU and Memory are not over 30% per host.

With only two hosts you better configure the failover capacity in percent, i.e. 50% in case of 2 hosts.

OK, I did that. Still Im getting the same error message. And additional I can't cancel anymore the enter maintenacne mode Task.

Update: After restarting the Managements agents on one host, the Task failed.

That's strange. Sometimes HA needs to be "reset" after certain changes. Please disable HA, and then re-enable it again. This should reconfigure HA on the hosts with the modified settings.
