Explanation:
It's a best practice to schedule maintenance windows with a 15- to 30-minute time buffer before and
after you start and stop your maintenance work. This gives the system an opportunity to catch up
with the maintenance state and reduces the chances of ITSI generating false positives during
maintenance operations.
