or editing a host in ViPR, or from the Clusters page. A host can only exist in one cluster.
Once a host is part of a ViPR cluster, service operations can be performed exclusively on a
single host, or shared across the hosts in a cluster.
u
Hosts that are not currently in use in a ViPR service, can be moved to different

cluster as the cluster to which the host belongs.
