1. Guest Clusters can be created on vSphere 5.1 and 5.5 but are supported to a maximum of just 5 nodes in that guest cluster, regardless of storage.2. VMware supports guest clusters using a shared virtual disk, but those guest cluster nodes must reside on the same physical host, defeating the
object of clustering and resilience.3. VMware does not support the use of vMotion with a VM that is part of a Guest Cluster4. VMware does not support the use of Memory Overcommit with a VM that is part of a Guest Cluster
