So it doesn't seem so... What about this; is there any change at all tot he gust machine when it is in maintenance mode? A drop in a particular tcp connection for example, or a command that I can run on the guest that will return a different message if it's in maintenance mode than if it is not?
If there's nothing at all that can be determined from the guest then what are my options? Can I make an api call to one of the VMWare appliances to get what I need? Can I receive a syslog message or an snmp trap? If so can these be easily separated out in a multi tenanted environment so that the hosting partner can easily just let me get this information via an api call or just receive this information via the log message or trap?
Thanks.
