Abstract
In a computer-implemented method for using a nested host manager in a hyper converged infrastructure to streamline the upgrade process for one or more hosts in a workload domain, a first workload domain having one or more hosts is chosen, and at least one host of the one or more hosts is designated for an upgrade. The resource allotment of the at least one host is evaluated and a nested host having a comparable resource allotment is selected and provided in a second workload domain. Communication is redirected from the at least one host to the nested host. The at least one host is placed in a maintenance mode, updated, and returned to an operational mode.
