We had a hardware failure on one of our Hosts. We manually restored the required affected guests to another host. Some of these are "Failed Over" to their replicas.
The new part will be replaced tomorrow, but we cannot have the guests autostart, as this will cause larger issues like not being able to "Fail Back" from the replicas.
Is there a way to stop the Host boot and either prevent the guests from autostarting or configure the host to boot in Maintenance mode?
As far as I know there is no maintenance mode to boot within. However I am unsure what you mean by "Failed Over". If this was a HA fail-over, which I don't think so looking at your question, then you should disable HA/DRS and Host auto start to be sure that nothing on that hosts boots up.
I hope this helps.
