Hallo,

we do have multiple bare-metal GPFS clusters with infiniband fabric, and 
I am actually considering adding some VMs in the mix, to perform admin 
tasks (so that the bare metal servers do not need passwordless ssh keys) 
and quorum nodes. Has anybody tried this? What could be the drawbacks / 
issues at GPFS level?

Thanks a lot for the insights!

cheers

leo
