You can view information about how each host setting is configured in the current desired configuration for the cluster. For each host setting defined in the configuration document, you can see the values as defined for all hosts in the cluster and also any host overrides.
With vSphere 8.0 Update 2, the common settings, the host-specific settings, and the host overrides can be configured manually in the configuration document or in the vSphere Client. In the vSphere Client, you can view both, the settings of the currently applied desired configuration and the editable settings of the draft configuration of a cluster.
