We have a VMware vCenter 5.5 license that's about to expire and while we re-new the license for vCenter, I need to take all VM's that are associated w/ a cluster called:
Orlando (site) > Staging (cluster) > 10.1.1.13 (host) > testbox1 (vm)
I need to remove the (host) from the (cluster) above. I can do this by entering 'Maintenance Mode' which then moves the (vm) to another host in the Staging (cluster). Problem is when I exit 'Maintenance Mode', the (cluster) is placed back into Staging & the VM is moved back to Staging (cluster) > 10.1.1.13 (host). This is NOT what I want. I want to independently remove all hosts from the Staging (clutser) in vCenter before my vCenter license expires.
Can anyone please explain or help me do this?
Thanks in advanced.
