Abstract
In a computer-implemented method for allocating a host of a pre-configured hyper-converged computing device to a workload domain, a pre-configured hyper-converged computing device including a plurality of hosts is managed, wherein the plurality of hosts is allocable to workload domains. A pool of unallocated hosts of the plurality of hosts is managed within the pre-configured hyper-converged computing device, wherein hosts of the pool of unallocated hosts have associated hypervisor versions. An allocation request to allocate at least one host of the pool of unallocated hosts to a workload domain is received, the allocation request including a requested hypervisor version of at least one host upon allocation. The at least one host is updated to the requested hypervisor version of the allocation request while the at least one host is in the pool of unallocated hosts.
