The reason why i said two is because the other data center node doesn't participate in the voting system. We manually disabled it following the msft recommendation.
But it still participates in the cluster!!
To which msft recommendation are you referring?

Cluster is physical. The file share exists on same site as the two nodes which contribute to quorum.
Why on earth take a vote from a perfect healthy cluster node and create a file share witness on the same site as existing voting nodes?
This shows a distinct lack of misunderstanding for quorum configurations, you haven't acknowledged my previous post. Do you understand that dynamic quorum has a limitation?

Test servers are virtual and they are on the same site.
i wouldn't be relying on virtual and physical to act in a similar fashion, there are too many other factors involved.

Perry,Also, you discussed the same topic before. But still I was not able to follow your logic behind enabling the vote for node which is in different data center other than primary replica.

Thanks,
You've misunderstood the article and quorum configurations and maybe need to re read it
