Satellite means that this node is a node that receives its cluster DB via TCP/IP. Our best practice is to keep it on 3 und use the rest as satellite (--satellite on add-node). It would be lost if you give them the "--no-storage" flag. Only then such node are not considered for deployment of the actual data. These are two very different things. As a side note and not something wanted in this particular setup: Even if nodes are --satellite + --no-storage, they can be hypervisors. They are then DRBD clients and receive/write data to storage nodes over the network. This is the typical setup. 3 big storage nodes, N hypervisor nodes that are --no-storage --satellite. Regards, rck.
