      <description>&lt;HTML&gt;&lt;HEAD&gt;&lt;/HEAD&gt;&lt;BODY&gt;&lt;P&gt;Hello,&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;I am actually looking for a way to merge ESXi 5.5 hosts in test and production environment into a single cluster.&amp;nbsp; The objective is to optimize resource utilization at it's maximum and I know I can control resources allocation with resource pools.&amp;nbsp; &lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Do you have any advice or any recommendations about merging test and production ESXi hosts into a single cluster?&amp;nbsp; Do you have documentation or web site to recommend about that?&amp;nbsp; Anyone has ever did this?&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Thank you.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;/BODY&gt;&lt;/HTML&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;HTML&gt;&lt;HEAD&gt;&lt;/HEAD&gt;&lt;BODY&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;SPAN style="font-size: 14pt;"&gt;We have mixed since we started using VMWare in 2007. 120 VMs later -&lt;BR /&gt;&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;SPAN style="font-size: 14pt;"&gt;no implications. To us, a VM is a VM.&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;/BODY&gt;&lt;/HTML&gt;</description>
