Provisioning a host of a workload domain of a pre-configured hyper-converged computing device

Abstract:

In a computer-implemented method for provisioning a host of a workload domain of a pre-configured hyper-converged computing device, a pre-configured hyper-converged computing device comprising a plurality of hosts is managed, where the plurality of hosts is allocable to workload domains, and where allocated hosts of a particular workload domain are of a same operating system version. A pool of unallocated hosts is maintained within the pre-configured hyper-converged computing device, where the unallocated hosts of the pool have operating system versions within a range of supported operating system versions.
