What part of SCSI3 persistant reservations are not supported? Is it only if shared VMDK's are used, or if, in a VMware example a SCSI adapter is set to physical bus sharing mode? Reason I am asking is I see a really good future use case with Storage Replica in the next version of Windows Server.This still requires SCSI3 persistant reservations to talk to the underlying VMDK in Windows Failover Cluster manager, but the disks arent actually "shared" at the VMDK level as replication happens in-guest over SMB3 to the other cluster node. Reservations are only used to control locks to the destination replica at the OS level. I wrote about this in my blog here http://www.cloudypolitics.com/virtualize-windows-storage-replica-cluster-on-vsphere/Hopefully with this feature we can create windows clusters on Nutanix using SQL Server Standard edition.
Hi, What hypervisor are you using? I have implmented symantec netbackup with Nutanix, so pehaps backup exec is similair. The way we do it is we have a pool of physical netbackup media servers with fibrechannel cards installed and backup VM's using VADP over NBD transport, works well and is fairly scalable. Not much point in virtulising your backup server, as I guess the only way to do it is pass a fibrechannel card through to a VM via VT-D. Was this your original intention? Let me know if I can assist. Regards, David
