Abstract: An example method of orchestrating a software-defined (SD) network layer of a virtualized computing system is described, the virtualized computing system including a host cluster, a virtualization management server, and a network management server each connected to a physical network, the host cluster having hosts and a virtualization layer executing on hardware platforms of the hosts. The method includes receiving, at the virtualization management server, a declarative specification describing a proposed state of an SD network for the host cluster, deploying, by the virtualization management server, virtualized infrastructure components in the host cluster in response to the proposed state in the declarative specification, and deploying, by the virtualization management server in cooperation with the network management server, logical network services supported by the virtualized infrastructure components in response to the proposed state in the declarative specification.

Abstract: The disclosure provides a method for tracking virtual machines (VMs) associated with a plurality of hosts in an inventory. The method generally includes determining to remove a first host of the plurality of hosts, the first host running a first VM, wherein: the first host and a second host are associated with a first host cluster in the inventory; the first host is the associated-host and the registered-host of the first VM in the inventory; determining the first VM is associated with first host cluster based on the associated-host of the first VM being the first host and the first host being associated with the first host cluster; identifying the second host is associated with the first host cluster in the inventory; altering the associated-host of the first VM to the second host and unsetting the registered-host for the first VM in the inventory; and removing the first host.
