Hello,
VC 2.5 ESX 3.5
I want to add an additional host into a cluster. In my VI 3 course notes it says that Mantenance Mode is used to add a host to a cluster, however I can't find this in the VMware docs. If I do put the host into Maintenance Mode and then add it to the cluster what are the implications?
Cheers
It's pretty straight forward. Your host is added to the cluster and the HA agent is installed and configured automatically. You can choose to keep existing resource pools or not...
So I can just place the host into maintenance mode prior to adding it to the cluster?
I have added hosts in normal mode, without maitenance. Works fine.

I don't want VMs migrating to the host. My question is, is it OK to put the host into maintenance mode and then add it to the cluster?
Thanks
Yep, that's no problem
Thank you
