• Name. The name of the pod.
• Gateway. The gateway for the hosts in that pod.
• Netmask. The network prefix that defines the pod's subnet. Use CIDR notation.

7.5. Adding a Cluster
You need to tell CloudPlatform about the hosts that it will manage. Hosts exist inside clusters, so
before you begin adding hosts to the cloud, you must add at least one cluster.
7.5.1. Add Cluster: KVM or XenServer
These steps assume you have already installed the hypervisor on the hosts and logged in to the
CloudPlatform UI.
1. In the left navigation, choose Infrastructure. In Zones, click View More, then click the zone in
which you want to add the cluster.
2. Click the Compute tab.
3. In the Clusters node of the diagram, click View All.
4. Click Add Cluster.
5. Choose the hypervisor type for this cluster.
6. Choose the pod in which you want to create the cluster.
7. Enter a name for the cluster. This can be text of your choosing and is not used by CloudPlatform.
8. Click OK.
7.5.2. Add Cluster: OVM
To add a Cluster of hosts that run Oracle VM (OVM):
1. Add a companion non-OVM cluster to the Pod. This cluster provides an environment where the
CloudPlatform System VMs can run. You should have already installed a non-OVM hypervisor on
at least one Host to prepare for this step. Depending on which hypervisor you used:
• For VMWare, follow the steps in Add Cluster: vSphere. When finished, return here and continue
with the next step.
• For KVM or XenServer, follow the steps in Section 7.5.1, “Add Cluster: KVM or XenServer”.
When finished, return here and continue with the next step
2. In the left navigation, choose Infrastructure. In Zones, click View More, then click the zone in
