Nutanix & Dell Compellent

Hello,

could you tell a little bit more about your design?

Which Hypervisor? What Hardware Vendor? and so on...

best regards,
Thomas

Assuming you're running VMW ESXi or Hyper-V, Nutanix actually has no impact on connecting a Compellent SAN, or anything other SAN, to ESXi or Hyper-V. The recommended practices would be the same from that vendors side.

Obviously if you had to add something like a FC-HBA card to the system to make that connection, we would not "support" that card if something goes wrong. You can see our support stance on 3rd party components here: http://www.nutanix.com/support/support-faqs/#non-nutanix-qualified-3rd-party-components

For AHV, we do not allow hypervisor level storage connections outside of Nutanix, however, you can absolutely do things like in-guest iSCSI from the Guest to the SAN, as Nutanix is not a part of that transaction/relationship.
