Hi,
I have a question around server roles for the PetaSAN nodes - if I was to create 1 Management only node on a local VMware datastore and then create 3 more physical PetaSAN nodes that have Local Storage Service Roles enabled on them (obviously 2 more of them would also have Management) and the 3 physical nodes would have iSCSI Target Service enabled, would that be considered a 4 node cluster? Is there any benefit to doing that?

Some users do install hybrid of physical + virtual. We do not support storage nodes as vms, but it is ok to do this for the first 3 management modes without running any storage on them. As far as the node count, yes the cluster will be the total of hybrid nodes.
