Well, CAU will completely ignore them. So, when it starts its patching of the host, the local VMs will continue running. When it reboots the host, the VMMS service will apply the automatic shutdown action setting for each of those local VMs. When the host starts up after patching, VMMS will apply the automatic startup action for each of those local VMs.
For whatever it’s worth, I have local VMs and everything works just fine. Just take care that the automatic action settings are set to your liking for each local VM.

Can I ask what if one to 2 hosts in a cluster also have VMs that are not part of the FC roles, what happens to them since they are stored locally and the roles cannot be drained?

is there a reason why the CAU won’t start to the time I set in the options wizard? My time zone here is GMT 1, and the self update always starts that one hour later too, no matter if daylight saving or standard time.

The cluster’s existing CNO is the account that needs full permissions on the OU. If you pre-create the CAU CNO before assigning those permissions, you’ll then need to assign them directly on the CAU CNO as well because it will not automatically inherit.

Any idea?

Correct, good catch. Thank you! The post has been updated.

in the section “The Process”, step 4, the text should be, I assume, “The cluster NODE is placed into maintenance mode …”
Kind regards,
