Hi Rakesh,
Andrija is correct. Internally, all the API call does is move the host to a
different state. Periodically (ping.interval duration apart) MS would attempt
migration of VMs. Once the host has zero running VMs and no VM in failure/error
state it would be marked in maintenance mode.
Regarding your 2nd question - how to track if maintenance state, one option is
that you query DB to see the state. The other option could be to see on event
bus for "MAINT.PREPARE" in completed state. I haven't seen this in practice but
perhaps you can dig in a bit to explore.
Regards,
Anurag

Rakesh,
I'm not quite sure if this is a bug/misbehaviour, but it is indeed a
confusing one.
When you ask a host to go to maintenance mode, , you are using
prepareHostForMaintenance as you said, and this will trigger the host to go
into the "PrepareForMaintenance" state... so the job does indeed completes
within 2-3sec usually, as you can actually see in the GUI, after a 2-3 secs
of spinning circle and confirmation that it has been done.
Now, after the host has reached the PrepareForMaintenance state, ACS will
migrate away VMs, and I can only assume that the mgmt server will mark it
as in "Maintenance" state once it has zero VMs.
So you can query for the status of the host for the "resourcestate" and
observe when it goes into "Maintenance" state.

Andrija
