Explanation
The role of the witness is to provide quorum between data sites. A vSAN stretched cluster witness: - Deployed at a third location - Deployed with the same build version as the rest of the ESXi hosts - Can be a physical server using an additional vSAN license - Can be a virtual witness appliance (OVA) which includes an embedded vSAN license - Only stores witness components and no data components - One witness per vSAN Stretched Cluster - Cannot run VMs and is not part of a vSAN or vSphere cluster
