Thank you HyperAdvisor.<br />
<br />
Yes, we have an maintenance window and users are informed.<br />
<br />
So I don´t have to save the VMs before &quot;&lt;more actions&gt; then &lt;shut down cluster&gt;&quot;?<br />
<br />
Also setting the nodes in maintenance mode is also NOT necessary?<br />
<br />
And is there any order after that in shutting down the nodes or something to do with the CSV?<br />
<br />
Thank you<br />

Thank you HyperAdvisor.

So I don´t have to save the VMs before "<more actions> then <shut down cluster>"?

Also setting the nodes in maintenance mode is also NOT necessary?

And is there any order after that in shutting down the nodes or something to do with the CSV?

Thank you

Hi HyperAdvisor,<br />
thanks for this fast and accurate solution.<br />
After shutting down the cluster from the cluster-manager, we shut down all cluster nodes.<br />
After starting all nodes, all VMs are automatically startet on the nodes on wich it where running before maintenance.<br />
<br />
Thank you!<br />

Virtualization is the act of creating a virtual (rather than actual) version of something, including (but not limited to) a virtual computer hardware platform, operating system (OS), storage device, or computer network resources. Virtualization is usually the creation of a system that executes separate from the underlying hardware resources, or the creation of an entire desktop for systems located elsewhere, similar to thin clients.
