Host Resources

The Hosts dashboard shows a list of hosts that are backing a provider virtual datacenter. To view the list of provider VDC hosts:

1. At the bottom of the inventory pane, click vCloud Director View.
2. Select a provider VDC node.
3. Go to the Hosts tab.

For every host in the list, the following details are shown:

• Name — name of the host (you can click the name to switch to the summary dashboard for the host)
• Status — health status of the host (Healthy, Warning or Error)
• Enabled — flag indicating whether the host is enabled or disabled (that is, whether new vApps can start up on the host)
• Ready — flag indicating whether the host has been prepared for a provider vDC to use host resources
• Available — flag indicating whether the host is available to vCloud Director
• Total VMs — number of VMs currently registered on the host
• vCenter — name of the vCenter Server that manages the host
