Placing a VMware vSphere ESXi host in maintenance mode works the same whether the VMs run on vSAN or other types of attached storage.

This is because of the way Nutanix is working together with VMware vSphere ESXi. On every VMware vSphere ESXi host on Nutanix, there is a VM called Controller Virtual Machine (CVM). This VM controls and managed the storage usage. All the storage IO for a host goes through that CVM VM. Lees verder How to place a VMware vSphere ESXi host on Nutanix in maintenance mode
