Question about Clusters and Storage usage

This is a multi-part message in MIME format. --------------AF09066F7B7B6BE6AE98327E Content-Type: text/plain; charset=utf-8; format=flowed Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Hello folks. I have here a scenario where I have one Datacenter and inside it I have one Cluster which has multiple hosts with Shared storage between them. Now I am willing to add another standalone host with Local Storage only and logic tells me to add to the same Datacenter created as they are in fact in the same physical Datacenter, but as this host has only Local Storage I shouldn't obviously add to the existing cluster. Question is: As the Datacenter was created with Storage type Shared - Should I create a new Cluster and add it to it, even though the new Host has only Local Storage - Or should I create another Datacenter with Storage Type Local, a cluster within it and then add the Host there ?

Hi Fernando, The second option is the right one. A Host with local storage should be in its own local data canter. Regards, Idan On Mon, Jun 12, 2017 at 8:54 PM, FERNANDO FREDIANI < fernando.frediani@upx.com> wrote:
