 You can configure the `infrastructures.config.openshift.io` configuration resource to specify multiple host groups for your {product-title} cluster that runs on a {vmw-first} instance. This is necessary if your {vmw-short} instance is in a stretched cluster configuration, with your ESXi hosts and storage distributed across multiple physical data centers. Use this procedure if you did not already configure host groups for your {product-title} cluster at installation, or if you need to update your {product-title} cluster with additional host groups.
