<title>Add Cluster: vSphere</title>
|
|
<para>Host management for vSphere is done through a combination of vCenter and the &PRODUCT; admin
|
|
UI. &PRODUCT; requires that all hosts be in a &PRODUCT; cluster, but the cluster may consist of
|
|
a single host. As an administrator you must decide if you would like to use clusters of one host
|
|
or of multiple hosts. Clusters of multiple hosts allow for features like live migration.
|
|
Clusters also require shared storage such as NFS or iSCSI.</para>
|
|
<para>For vSphere servers, we recommend creating the cluster of hosts in vCenter and then adding
|
|
the entire cluster to &PRODUCT;. Follow these requirements:</para>
