Hi,

VMware Cluster is treated as externally managed cluster by CS.   CS looks f=
or Vcenter Cluster and Datacenter information while adding the cluster in C=
S.  CS does a discovery using this information for all the hosts in VMClust=
er 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 Ho=
sts 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 differe=
nt for VMware.

Thanks!
