I thought disabling HA was important too, but maybe not first?

I recall that High Availability should be turned off before shutting down, but I can't remember if it's the first step or not.

I practiced a question like this, and I feel like shutting down vCenter might be too drastic. Maybe it's about the hosts?

I think we need to place all ESXi hosts into maintenance mode first, right? That seems to be a common step in similar scenarios.

I practiced a similar question where we had to manage VMs before a shutdown, but I can't recall if maintenance mode was the first step.
