Hello
We are going to perform maintenance on our entire Server-Blade system witch contains 5 Hyper-V hosts (win 2008R2 core) and 4 physical DB-servers. We are upgrading the Blade's NIC's to 10Gb.
To do this I will need to shut down all physical servers including the Hyper-V hosts but I do not want the vm's to perform the automatical HA move of wm's during this Maintenace.
So my questions are:
What is the best way to shut down all hosts without moving the vm's?
Can I put the HA in "Maintenace mode" or temporarily disable it?
Do I need to put the Hosts in Maintenace mode ?
