OK, no that is not supported. I mean, it was a long time ago but not any more. I wouldn´t worry about the engine being a VM, it´s acutally very stable, net positive compared to having it physical, in my opinion. And more available compared to having hardware outage. What I would do is set it up as three node hyperconverged and then just remove "Machine1" from the "Hosts" interface, so it´s not used for compute. /K > > /tony > > -- > -- > Tony Albers > Systems Architect > Systems Director, National Cultural Heritage Cluster > Royal Danish Library, Victor Albecks Vej 1, 8000 Aarhus C, Denmark. > Tel: +45 2566 2383 / +45 8946 2316
