Need to shutdown an ESXi host at recovery site

[uyousuf]

Hello,

Using SRM 5.8, I have 3 esxi servers on the recovery site. One of them needs to be placed in maintenance mode and possibly shutdown for hardware diagnostics. Is there a particular process I should follow to do this? Currently there are a few SRM-related objects on this server. How will they move without breaking?

Regards

Unless I'm missing something, if you have DRS enabled in your cluster, just put the host in maintenance and placeholder virtual machines will be migrated automatically, if not, you can always migrate them manually. Take in mind that you may receive a warning message about the fact that SRM manage the VM, but you can ignore it.
