Thanks Rafa, I did some research and get same conclusion as yours. MSCS is needed to install the SQL Server Failover Clustering and MSCS memeber needs to visit active directory to get identity verified. It's recommened to separate SQL Server Host and DC.

You will need an AD at second datacenter in a event of total loss of primary datacenter.
This AD server should be - preferentially - a dedicated server.
