VCF 4.x expanding and shrinking management workload hosts

gilpena — Mon, 20 Jul 2020 18:12:47 GMT

In reviewing the VCF 4.x Ops and Admin Guide, there is a section for "Expand a Workload Domain", which includes a management or VI workload domain.

There is also a section for "Shrink a Workload Domain" which references only Workload Domains. Does this mean you cannot shrink a management domain

by removing a management domain host, even if that leaves you with the minimum of four management hosts?

Hi Gilpena,

You can remove a host from the management domain.

I've also submitted feedback to update the documentation to include "management workload domain", as the 'Expand a Workload Domain' actually mentions the management workload domain.

Documentation is now updated, Shrink a Workload Domain

All expand and shrink topics call out both the management domain and VI workload domains in the description now.
