Hi @sagarshimpi , Right now the team is more inclined to doing it in Virtual Machines since the Hyper converge servers are already set up, as to buying and setting up new physical servers. As of the moment, I do not have the specs of the HCI servers that has been set up. As of the moment the big questions we asking is: 1.) How different would the Setup and configuration be for Physical Servers as to VMs. Yes, Setting up the VMs would be faster as compared to the physical ones but are there any additional configurations or settings that we would need to look into? 2.) We've read that one possible issue with setting the cluster on VMs is with Data Locality and redundancy. On how no 2 replicas should not be in the same physical node but since one physical node may house several VMs, would there be a way around this issue? 3.) Since the specs of the VMs would be restricted to the specs of the physical node and its resources be split depending on how many VMs it is housing, wouldn't it be better to have separate servers to house 1 node of a cluster to get better performance? and would having several VMs in one physical node affect the parallelism of the jobs that will run on the cluster? I am unfamiliar with Hyper converge infrastructure and how it will affect the functionality and performance of VMs as compared traditional server architecture. Also based on some blogs I've read, they say that VM clusters are good for development since they are more flexible(easy to create and destroy) but in production sense it would be better to have it in physical servers. Thanks.
