  • 1.  What I need to pay attention on using NAS?

    Hello:

    If I would like to use NAS on production, any things I need to pay attention and does any VMware option (E.G. VMware HA, DRS, vMotion, FT, SRM..........etc) didn't support NAS?

    Thanks!

    NAS is fully supported by all vSphere features. SRM is not vSphere, it's completelt different product and it still does not support vSphere, VI 3.5 only.

    Moreover for most vSphere features shared storage like NAS is a must.

    IPv6 protocol over NAS is still experimental in esx3.5 and esx4.0.
