HA admission control - dedicated failover host and maintenance mode

$

0

I am in the process of building a new 5.1 U 1 3 hosts cluster, and due to the fact that I don't use resource pools or limits on the VMs , I have opted to use the admission control policy "use dedicated failover hosts" (no slots sizes so best way to guarantee failover resources" , host3 is my dedicated failover host, host1 and hosts2 are my 'normal' hosts.

 

My question is this , when I get to the stage where I have VMs running on host1 and host2 , and I need to perform maintenance on either host , will putting host1 or host2 into maintenance automatically place the VMs onto host3 (if there isn't enough resource available on the other 'normal' host ?

 

 

Initial setup (VMs are sufficient big enough that the cannot all be run from 1 host)

Host1

     -VM1

     -VM2

     -VM3

     -VM4

 

Host2

     -VM5

     -VM6

     -VM7

     -VM8

 

Host3 (dedicated failover host)

 

 

 

 

Placing Host1 into maintenance mode

 

Host1 (maintenance mode)

 

Host2

     -VM5

     -VM6

     -VM7

     -VM8

 

Host3

     -VM1

     -VM2

     -VM3

     -VM4

    

 

 

Can anyone help explain ?
