Thanks that’s awesome, but not quite the answer I was looking for. To better phrase my question, if the cluster is the basic unit of availability, when hosts are enabled for HA, must all hosts in the cluster be enabled? Or can the cluster exist with a non-uniform structure, having only some hosts enabled for HA?
You partially answered it with the special reserve HA hosts, but I'm looking more in terms of general use.
