Hosts in maintenance mode and CPU/Memory consumption

[Souad90]

Hi all,

I have a question, I configured a heatmap to show the cpu/mem counters of the esxi hosts. My question is : when a host is in maintenance mode, is it really consuming something or not ? because in my heatmap, there are hosts in maintenance that are showing with values, and others are not visible.

Thank you.

Hi

host in mainenance could have activity such as vib installation and many others.. Host in maintenance means that no VM's could run on it, but because host operations are allowed (or mandatory) during host maintenance, there could be host activities.
