For up to date info always use the official sizing tool located [here ](https://vmc.vmware.com/) This is based on vSAN OSA and excludes the management overhead (i.e. valid for secondary clusters). It also uses the most efficient storage policy that is supported based on the number of hosts available. If you are planning to do a cluster conversion between host types then the management stack size doesn’t change.
