Proper procedure to enter maintenance mode in a cluster
I have a quick and easy 500 question-
I have a 5.5 Cluster with 2 hosts configured with HA and DRS with the VM's on a SAN (DRS is in Partial Automated until I get a warm and fuzzy with DRS).
I want to enter one of the Hosts into maintenace mode. Do I need to perform the same procedures as if it was not a cluster?
Meaning, Do I need to vmotion off the VM's onto the other server (I presume I need to disable temp DRS) , then enter maintenace mode, or will VMWare do this automatically if I try entering Maintenance mode?
Thats all- Thanks

VMware
VMware, a software company founded in 1998, was one of the first commercially successful companies to offer x86 virtualization. The storage company EMC purchased VMware in 1994. Dell Technologies acquired EMC in 2016. VMware’s parent company is now Dell Technologies. VMware has many software products that run on desktops, Microsoft Windows, Linux, and macOS, which allows the virtualizing of the x86 architecture. Its enterprise software hypervisor for servers, VMware vSphere Hypervisor (ESXi), is a bare-metal hypervisor that runs directly on the server hardware and does not require an additional underlying operating system.
