In "About Clusters" it says:
"The hosts in a cluster all have identical hardware, run the same
hypervisor, are on the same subnet, and access the same shared primary
storage."
Later in the "About Hosts" it says
"May have different capacities (different CPU speeds, different amounts
of RAM, etc.), although the hosts within a cluster must all be homogeneous".
The use of "identical" and "homogeneneous" to describe hardware is
confusing.
IMHO you don't have "identical" hardware if you have different "CPU
Speeds" and "different amounts of RAM" and different "etc."
What exactly should be said about Cluster hosts? Is it sufficient to
have the same CPU family?
How far can you stray in the same family?
Can a host with an AMD Opteron 6300 be in the same cluster as one based
on the AMD Opteron 6200?
Is there any way to clarify these 2 sections on the same page and
replace "identical" and "homogeneous" with a clearer description of what
is required.
The cluster comment in the Host section should probably be removed or
replaced with a reference to About Clusters to avoid having duplicate
and possibly conflicting information.
