Okay I know...the whole purpose of SDDC is to distribute over several nodes. BUT, we are building a test environment and only need to have vSAN and vCenter run insofar as to allow us to proceed with encrypting the data.
I found a YouTube video that talked about forcing it to install on only one node.

Is that possible? What kind of hardware and other considerations would be needed to support this?
Is there any way to do any of this "virtually" so we don't need to buy another server?
Has anyone set this up in their lab this way?
Thanks!
