Claim 6:
7. A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium that includes a set of instructions which, in response to execution by one or more processors for cluster configuration clients including a first configuration client and a second configuration client different from the first configuration client, cause the processors to perform a method of configuring a hyper-converged infrastructure (HCI) cluster, wherein the method comprises:
creating, by the first cluster configuration client, a workflow session based on a workflow;
transmitting, by the first cluster configuration client, the workflow session to the cluster manager for storing the workflow session in the HCI cluster;
displaying, by the first cluster configuration client including an application window, a set of graphic user interface (GUI) elements based on the workflow session in the application window, wherein the set of GUI elements correspond to a plurality of workflow operations in the workflow session, and a first workflow operation and a second workflow operation selected from the plurality of workflow operations are marked as incomplete, and the cluster manager is configured to create, adjust, and configure a plurality of nodes in the HCI cluster supported by a plurality of hosts; and
transmitting, by the first cluster configuration client to the cluster manager via a network, a first invocation to invoke the first workflow operation, wherein the cluster manager is configured to perform the first workflow operation by batch-configuring the plurality of nodes in the HCI cluster, and the cluster manager marks the first workflow operation in the workflow session as completed; and
transmitting, by the second cluster configuration client to the cluster manager, a second invocation to invoke the second workflow operation, and the cluster manager marks the second workflow operation in the workflow session as completed.
