Control maintenance mode (MM) with the hvutil command:
hvutil -M { on | off | forceoff }
hvutil -m { on | off | forceoff } userApplicationOptions:
-M: Applies the MM operation to all applications on all the nodes
-m: Applies the MM operation to the specified application on all the nodes
Operations:
on: Starts maintenance modeoff: Stops MM if all resources are in the appropriate state
forceoff: Forces MM to stop even if all resources are not in the appropriate state
The hvutil maintenance mode commands operate synchronously, so they do not return until the final state has been reached or until an error occurs. In the particular case where '-m off' returns a failure because one or more resources were in an inappropriate state, an error message is displayed that lists the problem resources.
Note
To stop the maintenance mode, confirm that all the resources under userApplication are in the status just before the start of maintenance mode.
If one of the following information is displayed in StateDetails column of the targeted userApplication in the output of hvdisp command, there is a need to return the userApplication status to the status just before start of maintenance mode.
"Online!!" is being displayed (Online is the status just before starting maintenance mode).
"Standby!!" is being displayed (Standby is the status just before starting maintenance mode).
"Offline intended" is being displayed and one or more resources under the userApplication is neither Offline status nor Standby status (Offline is the status before starting maintenance mode).
