I would tend to agree with your colleague. A cluster doesn't imply HA and it's more about network nodes working with each other to provide any kind of service, IMHO. I don't know VMWare. Cluster is a vague term. That beeing said, you can use whatever you want in your documentation as long as you clearly define the terms in it. ,-p -- Nicolas Sebrecht _______________________________________________ libvirt-users mailing list [email protected] https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/libvirt-users
