A host or cluster is considered used if the host or cluster has been deployed in<br />
the virtual datacenter and is available to deploy virtual machines. A host or cluster<br />
is considered a remaining host or cluster if <strong>CapacityIQ</strong> estimates that the host or<br />
cluster has capacity for at least one new virtual machine.<br />
