Overview
This document describes how to manage data centers, clusters, and hosts in a ZSphere environment, and how to maintain host status and host hardware devices.
Data centers, clusters, and hosts are core objects for organizing and providing virtualization resources in ZSphere. A data center groups resources, a cluster pools host compute capacity, and a host provides the physical compute resources required to run virtual machines.
| Object | Description |
|---|---|
| Data Center | A data center is the top-level resource namespace in ZSphere. It organizes resources such as clusters, hosts, storage, networks, and virtual machines. |
| Cluster | A cluster is a collection of hosts in a data center. It pools compute capacity and hosts virtual machines. |
| Host | A host is a physical compute node managed by ZSphere. It provides CPU, memory, hardware devices, and network connectivity for virtual machines. |
