Preparing VMM for Fully-Converged Topology
In this topology, each cluster node will be configured to use a single SET switch for management, storage 1, storage 2 traffic. All these commands must be run on the VMM Server.

Configuring Azure Stack HCI Cluster using Fully-Converged Topology
once the VMM preparation is complete, the domain-joined nodes can be added to the VMM for management and then a Azure Stack HCI cluster can be created.
