5 Essential Tips for Maximizing Your Experience at Nutanix .NEXT for Bloggers
There can be legitimate cases where access to external storage, such as massive tape libraries, massive disk archives is needed to some, but not all VMs running in a Nutanix cluster. These VMs would be ideally under the AHV hypervisor, but is ESXi is an acceptable alternative. These external storage systems would likely support 10GbE iSCSI (and faster) and/or 8 gbit fibre channel or faster. I understand that supporting such external access would make the VM “special” and would restrict VM mobility to other specific nodes that were configured for similar external access. The mobility issues are a later discussion, if external storage access is possible. If the external storage was a NAS device, running NFS and/or SMB, I believe it would be straigntforward … just define the external IP address in the VM, and access the data from the VM. The same technique could be used for external iSCSI devices, for Ethernet iSCSi. In many cases, if the external storage needed very high performance
