ESXI HOST FAILS TO ENTER MAINTENANCE MODE
Recently I was doing some host patching and several hosts in different clusters
caused issues to me. At closer look I noticed that vMotion did not migrate VMs
away from host. vMotion tasks failed with message: A general system error
occurred: Invalid state
The solution to fix it was to disconnect the host from vCenter and re-connect
the host. After that vMotion worked and I was able to patch the host.
