This is possible but not recommended for a production environment. We have found that running MySQL Cluster processes inside a virtual machine can give rise to issues with timing and disk subsystems that have a strong negative impact on the operation of the cluster. The behavior of the cluster is often unpredictable in these cases. If an issue can be reproduced outside the virtual environment, then we may be able to provide assistance. Otherwise, we cannot support it at this time.
