Creating a Hyperion Datacenter initializes a centralized management environment designed to enable advanced high-availability features, including virtual machine live migration and automatic failover.
During initialization, the current appliance becomes the Primary Node, which stores the master datacenter configuration and acts as the centralized Certificate Authority (CA).

IMPORTANT
Ensure that all hostnames and domain names across your network are definitive. Changing these parameters post-deployment is not permitted without completely removing the node from the datacenter.
