Just a basic quick question I’d like confirmation on if possible. In a Nutanix Metro availability configuration (ESXi stretched cluster stretched across two sites) do all the CVM’S from both clusters have to be on the same Layer 2 Network to be supported?

Hello Algon
Most Metro Availability configurations assume a layer 2 network across the two sites, but layer 2 is not a requirement.

Correct
But always keep in mind that latency is the most critical factor when doing Metro, IO-commit is received when both sites have written to disk.
So the latency between the two clusters is key and will be better if there is no routing necessary.
We always advice our customers to go with streched L2 for the best performance
