Hi @Vaskomozz,

as Duncan and the KB states, the "None - standard cluster" should not be used for Stretched Clusters, even for non-critical VMs. As the KB explains, this leads to vSAN making the wrong placement decisions and potentially ending up in impactful for your entire environment - also affecting your critical VMs.

If you don't need FTT=1 across your sites, you can use "None - stretched cluster" or one of the "None - keep data on [...]" storage policies to pin the data on one specific site.

Regarding the Witness: The witness only holds metadata components and no actual VM data of your VMs.
