2.  A clustered environment.  In this case, multiple physical servers
each run a bare-metal hypervisor and are grouped together in a logical
cluster.  One or more resource pools may or may not exist within the
cluster.  VMs may be assigned to a pool or to the cluster itself.  In
this scenario, either the cluster or resource pool objects would act
as the container for VMs.  The cluster would act as the container for
the servers and resource pool objects.
After some investigation I found that used by you (VMWare) naming convention is a bit different to Xen(Server). In XenServer there are no Clusters. You add your boxes into Resource Pool, which functionality is similar (the same) to VMWare Cluster.

So may question. Is it possible to make naming of containers more flexible? I imagine that other Hypervisors might adopt other naming convention as well.
