How to add powered-on ESX host to cluster

Hi all,

I already have two powered-on ESX Host with VMs running but both ESX Host are not in any cluster.

Can I just add the ESX Host to a new cluster without powering off the VMs ?

is the Cluster enabled for EVC? - in this case you got to consider powering down all the VMs and placing your host in maintenance mode and then drag and drop it on the cluster.

if the cluster is not enabled for EVC, just drag and drop your host in the cluster. No need to power down running VMs.
