    Team,

    Can someone please guide me in fixing below issue:

    Host cannot enter maintenance mode because it failed to enter Namespaces maintenance mode on the node.

    Hey ,

    Probably this is related with the Workload Control Plane service not being initiated. 

    Log into vCenter VAMI console over port 5480 and check the status of that service.

    Hey Mate,

    I checked this service on VAMI, its already started.
    I even rebooted the vCenter but it didn't help.

    Did You find any help with this? I have a similiar, if not the same, problem with putting hosts into Maintenance Mode.

    I had to update my vCenter with the new patch, i.e., v7.0u1b

    It is working fine after that.

    Just in case anyone has this issue in the future when I see this error the Workload Control Plane service is stopped on the vcenter appliance 

    Has anyone had the latest update fix this service stopping?
