With the basic host management workflows, you can put a host into maintenance mode and make a host exit maintenance mode. You can also move a host to a folder or a cluster, and reload data from a host.

To access these workflows, navigate to Library > Workflows and enter the vcenter, host_management and basic tags in the workflow search box.
