Network maintenance

Hello,

We are going to have some network maintenance done, where hosts and vms are going to loose network connection for few minutes.

In the past we have disabled  HA and DRS during network maintenance and enabled it back once network maintenance is complete.

My  question is do i really have to diable HA or unchecking host monitoring  in cluster settings would do the same thing as disabled HA during  network maintenance.

Environment:

ESXi 4.1 servers in cluster with HA and DRS enabled

Thanks

You only have to uncheck Host Monitoring, there is no need to disable the whole HA cluster feature.
