Hi Andre, and thank you for your reply.

I am trying to simplify applying patches and upgrades to the hosts. Without a cluster, I am forced to upgrade the hosts separately, and I have to move the Vcenter vm around while putting each host in maintenance mode. I read that with a cluster, vcenter manages itself and stays available as long as there is a host available. I could be wrong about that.

Maybe it would be more helpful if I asked the question a different way.

In a VMWare Essentials environment with 3 hosts and 5 total VMs, is there any compelling reason to put the hosts in a cluster?

Thank you again for giving up some of your Saturday for this. Have a great weekend Andre.

Greg
