When you add a host from a VMware NSX enabled cluster, the NSX VIBs are automatically installed. The process steps for adding hosts to a VMware NSX enabled cluster is the same as if you were adding a host from a standard vSphere cluster. Prerequisites This post assumes the following: The target VMware ESXi host(s) are already connected to vCenter Server. The target VMware ESxi host(s) are already connected to any relevant Distributed Switches.

When you remove a host from a VMware NSX enabled cluster, the NSX VIBs are automatically removed. The process steps for removing hosts from a VMware NSX enabled cluster is the same as if you were removing a host from a standard vSphere cluster. Remove a Host from a VMware NSX enabled Cluster Note: These steps assume you are not even logged into vCenter Server. Skip the first few steps if you are!
