In the web console, the appliance warns that you need to place the datastores into maintenance mode, I assume putting the hosts into maintenance mode does the same thing, but I'm not sure what to do with the host running the SAN/NAS appliance as a VM. Is it sufficient to shut down the VMs on the host running the SAN appliance and then shut down the appliance?
The reason why I'm concerned about my shutdown order is, that I have to refresh the software iSCSI adapters to see the iSCSI-backed datastores after I start the host and the SAN appliance.
Another question: is it possible to configure the VASA provider on SAN/NAS Free to take advantage of vCenter Server vvols?
Thank you for the help.
