Question about VMware Clusters in CS
Hi,
I've mainly been using XenServer with CS to date.
I was curious about trying out VMware and was reading some of the
documentation.
It looks like you set up your VMware Cluster in vCenter first, then go into
CS and create a Cluster for it.
Do you have to explicitly create CS Hosts for this Cluster or is that taken
care of for you by CS?
Thanks!

RE: Question about VMware Clusters in CS
Posted by Sailaja Mada <sa...@citrix.com>.
Hi,
VMware Cluster is treated as externally managed cluster by CS. CS looks for Vcenter Cluster and Datacenter information while adding the cluster in CS. CS does a discovery using this information for all the hosts in VMCluster and all these will be represented as CS nodes under VMware cluster.
Cluster name that we provide at CS should be same as Vcenter Cluster.
Thanks,
Sailaja.M

Cool...that's what it sounded like from the docs.
What I was trying to picture, though, is how that looks in CS. By creating a new CS Cluster for my VMware Cluster, will CS automatically create CS Hosts to represent the VMware nodes?
I'm familiar with how XenServer works in CS, where you create a CS Cluster and then have to add the XenServer nodes as CS Hosts, but it sounds different for VMware.
Thanks!

Hi,
It is recommended to create the cluster of hosts in vCenter and then add the entire cluster to CloudStack.
Thanks,
