Excellent video. I am binge watching :)... one question here. Will the vm network be l2 or l3 ?

Hello, Professor!
I need to ask a question, please.
I have a client who has an extension cluster and we need to shut down the secondary site for electrical maintenance.
The environment has 8 hosts, so we will need to shut down 4 of them, and the storage fabric is configured with Raid 5.
Are there any impediments that I should be aware of?
We are planning to disable DRS and HA, including some virtual machines.
Increase the resync time, as the maintenance should take approximately 8 to 12 hours.
Manually evacuate the secondary site, put the hosts in "Ensure Accessibility" and shut them down.

what are the general limits if I configure a stretched cluster using only two hosts (1 host per location)?
