So based on the discussions would it be fair to conclude that this should be handled by adding some column like 'max_host_per_cluster' in hypervisor_capabilities table. Currently the following version entries are present for Vmware. For each version an appropriate value can be associated based on the limitations/actual supported. For other HVs where this setting is not applicable some dummy value, say (-1) can be entered.
hv_type hv_version VMware default VMware 4.0 VMware 4.1 VMware 5.0 Let me know if there is a consensus on this.
