VRP IO filter installation reqs

Can you tell us if the process for io filter installation has been changed? It previously wanted to put ESX hosts into maintenance mode which was a bit of challenge when there was not a lot of free capacity.

    Good question. Maintenance mode isn't required for a install, but will need to be use for a uninstall. That means it would be required for a iofilter upgrade as well. This is part of the ESX functionality, they do supply a series of best practices when using maintenance mode here.
