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.

Abstract: In a computer-implemented method for upgrading a fault tolerant hyper-converged infrastructure in an environment with no additional physical infrastructure, a workload domain having a plurality of hosts is chosen for an upgrade. One or more conflict groups are calculated for each host, and a physical host in the workload domain is selected. A number and a size of one or more nested hosts is determined and a different nested host is created in a management cluster for each of the one more conflict groups in the physical host. A communication network provides communication between a virtual machine (VM) on the different nested host and a VM in the physical host. The physical host is put into a maintenance mode, upgraded, and then returned from the maintenance mode to an operational mode.

Abstract: Systems and methods herein can provide virtual resource management for hyper-converged infrastructures. In an example, a method can include identifying an overloaded cluster requesting at least one resource, the overloaded cluster including a hypervisor on a virtual machine. The method can further include identifying an additional cluster having a free resource corresponding to the requested resource. The method can include instantiating a nested host on the additional cluster, the nested host being configured to provide the free resource and the nested hosted comprising an additional hypervisor that manages an additional virtual machine. Further, the method can include registering the nested host with the overloaded cluster such that the overloaded cluster is authorized to use the free resource.
