Is storage VMotion currently supported on NFS? Also does anyone know of a NFS compatibility matrix guide?

I'm pretty sure this is not correct. Everything I can find says that as of Update 1 & 2, its supported for iSCSI and Fiberchannel storage only. I suspect it will work for NFS, but thats not the same as supported.

Hello,

Yes, VMotion will work with NFS. I do not believe SVMotion is supported with NFS yet. However it may work.

Hi Parker,

Officially Storage VMotion is not supported on NFS but that does not mean it doesn't work. Per VMware the reason has been lack of QA cycles.

I can not comment on VMware's Roadmap
