Notes:
From IBM Spectrum Virtualize V8.1.0 onwards, various Host Cluster-related
operations can also be done using the GUI in addition to CLI.
Host clusters enable you to create individual hosts and add them to a host cluster. Care
must be taken to make sure that no loss of access occurs when transitioning to host
clusters.
