To add hosts to the VMware Cloud Foundation inventory, you must first create a network pool or expand the default network pool created during bring-up.

For information on network pools, see About Network Pools.

You then commission hosts to VMware Cloud Foundation. During the commissioning process, you associate hosts with a network pool. Commissioned hosts are added to the VMware Cloud Foundation inventory. You can add these hosts to the management domain or to a VI workload domain. When a host is added to a workload domain, an IP address from the network pool's IP inclusion range is assigned to it.
