    Hello,

    I have a cluster version 6 that consist of 5 host version 6 , but when I put my hosts in Maintenance mode, it just block task to 2%, not had license for DRS.

    My HA config is Disable: Allow VM Power on operations that violate availability constraints.

    My vmotion works because if i move-vm by powercli, it works correctly.

    why mode HA don't move vm other hosts

    thanks

    You need DRS for this. HA will just restart VMs in case a physical host fails, but it will not vMotion live migrate VMs when you put a host in maintenance mode.

    You need to manually migrate all VMs from this host if you put it into maintenance mode.
