ScaleIO on VMware cluster with only two ESXi?

I want to try ScaleIO but the cluster available to me for this only have two ESXi, I know that this its not supported but can be done? Can I set the TB on other Host (for example the vCenter?) The vCenter is hosted on external ESXi.

    As per the Install Guide:

    A minimum of three devices to be added to SDS, that all meet the following prerequisites:

    • A minimum of 100 GB available storage capacity.

    • The devices must be free of partitions.

    • If a device has a datastore on it, before adding the device, you must either remove the datastore, or use the plug-in Advanced settings option to enable VMDK creation.

    Thanks gearoidc,

    I now understand, ScaleIO needs minimum of three SDS Servers.

    I will need a third ESXi hosts...
