    I noticed that the Virtual Gateway is not an option I can choose in Aruba Central when configuring a Gateway group in the Mobility persona. 

    Citing the official study guide HPE7-A01 (Chapter 3 page1 111 of the e-book) about Homogeneous Cluster:

    "A homegeneous cluster is built with all nodes of the same Aruba gateway series......A homogeneous virtual gateway cluster is also supported with four nodes."

    However here are two screenshots, one while using the branch gateway persona and one while using the mobility persona. Anybody know why the virtual gateway is removed?
    Here's the Branch gateway
    Here's the Mobility GW:
    Just curious

    AFAIK virtual gateways can only be deployed as VPNCs.

    Here is the doco for "Deploying Virtual Gateways "

    Is the study guide referring to gateway/clusters in general or specifically Mobility gateways?  The VGW is only available for the VPNC persona, so hopefully the former.
