Difference between Hosts and VMs

[lanevm]

Happy New Year!

I guess this is a stupid question, but I don't know the answer to it.

I  have created VM View pools. Some desktops in the pool are Hosts and  some are VMs. What's the difference between Hosts and VMs. I thought I  only could create VMs, but I guess I could create Hosts as well. How did  this happen?

Thanks for your help.

where does it say desktops are hosts?  A host is typically refering to an ESXi server.  A VM is just the guest OS running on the host.  A pool is a group of VMs that can span multiple hosts.
