We do this regularly and are moving to make it our new standard.

Hello all,



My question is regarding virtual nodes. I have read here  
https://github.com/xcat2/xcat-core/issues/5673<https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://github.com/xcat2/xcat-core/issues/5673__;!!DZ3fjg!tvY6aYBwuPt3rAhV3UK1KatS_bpuI5hZxMOkLx5QfvI71YxGt14OmKMQyHYYgQkLBA$>:



“…All supported scenario are listed 
here<https://urldefense.com/v3/__http://xcat-docs.readthedocs.io/en/latest/advanced/sysclone/sysclone.html*list-of-supported-arch-and-os__;Iw!!DZ3fjg!tvY6aYBwuPt3rAhV3UK1KatS_bpuI5hZxMOkLx5QfvI71YxGt14OmKMQyHbt6zhGDw$>
 and all development environments based on physical machine, NOT support 
virtual machine"



So, is it possible that a VMware virtual server acts as xCAT management server, 
managing physical servers (clients) ?



Our systems are RHEL 7.8 (management node and clients)



Thanks

Yes it is totally possible and if done right there's actually no drawbacks.

For computing nodes the scenario is different.
