Abstract

Techniques for provisioning/deprovisioning physical hosts based on a dynamically created manifest file for clusters in hyperconverged infrastructures are disclosed. In one embodiment, a manifest file is dynamically generated for each cluster in an hyperconverged infrastructure. One or more threshold limits are defined for each cluster in the hyperconverged infrastructure. A W2H mapping table is created by mapping each cluster to respective physical hosts and the define one or more threshold limits. One or more physical hosts in a host pool is then identified, reserved, and prepared for provisioning one or more physical hosts in a host pool to a cluster upon a resource utilization of the cluster reaching the one or more threshold limits based on the dynamically generated manifest file. The prepared one or more physical hosts are then provisioned to the cluster in the hyperconverged infrastructure.
