Maybe I am not understanding something here. Does this control the power cycle of the management server(s) or the hypervisor hosts? The wording is throwing me off.
I am guessing it is for managing the hypervisor hosts. If this is the case, does it also handle the "maintenance mode" for the host as well? At least with XenServer, if you do a power cycle without putting the host into maintenance mode first, all the VRs will have to be restarted on that host once it is back up in order for their networking to work again. How does this fit into this?
