Set an ESX Host into maintenance mode using the service console
June 21st, 2009
If you are using the service console and want to put the ESX server into maintenance mode, simple run the following commands:
Enter maintenance mode:
vimsh -n -e /hostsvc/maintenance_mode_enter
Exit maintenance mode:
vimsh -n -e /hostsvc/maintenance_mode_exit
How do you check whether you are in maintenance mode or not?
vimsh -n -e /hostsvc/runtimeinfo | grep inMaintenanceMode | awk ‘{print $3}’
