In the VMware Solutions console, click **Licensing and metering > Add-on services** from the left navigation panel. 2. In the **VMware Cloud Foundation for Classic** table, click an instance to view the clusters in it. 3. Click the **Infrastructure** tab. In the **Clusters** table, view the summary about the clusters: * **Cluster name**: The name and type of the cluster. * **Cluster type**: The type of cluster. Types include witness, consolidated, workload, and edge gateway. * **ESXi servers**: The number of VMware ESXi™ servers in the cluster. * **vSphere version**: The vSphere version of the ESXi servers in the cluster. * **Storage**: The type of storage that the cluster uses. * **Data center location**: The IBM Cloud data center where the cluster is hosted. * **Pod**: The pod where the cluster is deployed. * **Networking**: Whether **Public and private network** or **Private network only**. * **Uplink speed**: Whether 10 Gb or 25 Gb. * **Status**: The status of the cluster. The status can have one of the following values: * Initializing: The cluster is being created and configured. * Modifying: The cluster is being modified. * Available: The cluster is ready to use. * Deleting: The cluster is being deleted. * Deleted: The cluster is deleted. * **Actions**: Click the **Delete** icon ![Delete icon](../../icons/delete.svg "Delete") to delete the cluster. 4.
