This monitor tracks whether any vSphere hosts are put into the Maintenance Mode, and synchronizes the VMware vSphere and Ops Mgr Maintenance Modes.
When you place a vSphere host in the VMware vSphere Maintenance Mode using the vSphere Client, this monitor notifies the Ops Mgr Management Server to put the host into the Ops Mgr Maintenance Mode.
By design, only the host itself and host components (hardware sensors, HBAs, and NICs) will enter the Ops Mgr Maintenance Mode. This does not apply to VMs running on the host and Ops Mgr agents inside the VMs.
No resolution is required. This monitor automatically tracks the host status. When the host exits the VMware vSphere Maintenance Mode, the monitor triggers a recovery action to run a script that will remove the host from the Ops Mgr Maintenance Mode.
If the Ops Mgr Maintenance Mode is not required, you can bring the host and its components back to the normal operational mode manually in the Ops Mgr console. To do that, follow the instructions provided in the Microsoft System Center Operations Guide.
If future synchronization of the VMware vSphere and Ops Mgr Maintenance Modes is not required, configure an override to disable this monitor.
The initial default duration of the Ops Mgr Maintenance Mode is set to 24 hours. In case the VMware vSphere Maintenance Mode persists for more than 24 hours, it will expire in the Ops Mgr and the host will enter the normal operational mode. You can configure an override to change the duration setting. To extend the Maintenance Mode duration automatically, you can also enable the companion rule for this monitor - 'Veeam VMware Maintenance Mode Tracker - Duration Extension Rule'. This rule will re-run the script if the VMware vSphere Maintenance Mode duration breaches the specified setting.
