Hi all,

one of my clients has all stretch clusters with SQL availability group role set up with
two VMware nodes(one at production site and one at DR site(FSW at DR site)(windows 2012R2 up)
Node1(1NIC ) ----- Node2 (1NIC)+FSW (storage appliance)
Production site ---- DR site

Is this a bad design?

Thank you!
