If you have configuration/troubleshooting tasks around that service, you should be able to complete that task and restart the service in non-maintenance mode to ensure that the changes you made are working. If the service does not start properly because of a configuration issue, then the task will be wrong. So, as a norm, make sure the service is able to run in non-maintenance mode. </P><P>Hope that this helps </P> Mon, 13 Feb 2017 19:23:14 GMT wgonzalez 2017-02-13T19:23:14Z https://community.cloudera.com/t5/Archives-of-Support-Questions/services-which-are-maintenance-mode-in-HDPCA-exam/m-p/171935#M54236 <P>I had attemp HDPCA practice environment (Hortonworks HDPCAdministrator_2.3 PracticeExam_v3) in AWS. When i completed all the tasks, i found some of the services are in maintenanece mode, which are not able to start. Shall we keep these servers in maintenence mode without attempting starting/troubleshooting? Does this task consider to be fail? Please suggest.
