VMware View Cluster Max Host Limit Reached

Last night, as I was refreshing the Aeries View pool, I ran into a problem, since it was the first time doing a refresh after adding the 2 new VMware hosts to the cluster. 

I found out that View pools have maximum limit of 8 hosts per cluster. (we now have 10). As a result, I will be creating a new and separate cluster to for the View environment. 
This should technically be transparent to all. However, I want to give a heads up, especially to the helpdesk, as I am not too sure as to how many servers in the new cluster we will need to run the 250 VMs comfortably. Initially, I will be putting 2 or 3 of the servers in the new cluster, and run in production. 
Helpdesk, please keep me updated if you get any calls regarding unusual  performance.  
As I mentioned, I will be monitoring the new cluster closely, so that we make sure this happens completely transparently. 

I will be making that change in the next couple of days, off-hours.
