For example, examine using Maintenance Mode in a 3-node, Ambari-managed cluster installed using default options. This cluster has one data node, on host c6403. This example describes how to explicitly turn on Maintenance Mode for the HDFS service, alternative procedures for explicitly turning on Maintenance Mode for a host, and the implicit effects of turning on Maintenance Mode for a service, a component and a host.
