Cluster Compute Resource Move Host Into Task

Moves an existing host into a cluster.

The host must be part of the same datacenter, and if the host is part of a cluster, the host must be in maintenance mode.

If the host is a stand-alone host, the stand-alone ComputeResource is removed as part of this operation.

All virtual machines associated with the host, regardless of whether or not they are running, are moved with the host into the cluster. If there are virtual machines that should not be moved, then migrate those virtual machines off the host before initiating this operation.

If the host is a stand-alone host, the cluster supports nested resource pools, and the user specifies the optional resourcePool argument, then the stand-alone host's root resource pool becomes the specified resource pool and the stand-alone host resource hierarchy is imported into the new nested resource pool. If the cluster does not support nested resource pools or the resourcePool argument is not specified, then the stand-alone host resource hierarchy is ignored.

vSphere Lifecycle Manager baselines (previously called vSphere Update Manager VUM) is deprecated in vCenter 8.0. You can instead manage the lifecycle of the hosts in your environment by using vSphere Lifecycle Manager images (vLCM). A host moved from image managed cluster to baseline managed cluster will become baseline managed.
