It will also provide some troubleshooting tips and tricks. It also examines the myths that exist and will attempt to dispel confusion as to when NFS should and should not be used with vSphere. This paper provides an overview of the considerations and best practices for deployment of VMware vSphere on NFS based storage. VMware offers support for almost all features and functions on NFS-as it does for vSphere on SAN. The capabilities of VMware vSphere™ on NFS are very similar to the VMware vSphere™ on block-based storage. Running vSphere on NFS is a very viable option for many virtualization deployments as it offers strong performance and stability if configured correctly. The significant presence of Network Filesystem Storage (NFS) in the datacenter today has lead to many people deploying virtualization environments with Network Attached Storage (NAS) shared storage resources.įor the purpose of clarity, both NFS and NAS refer to the same type of storage protocol and the terms will be used interchangeably throughout this paper. This section briefly covers how NFS and NAS have affected the virtualization environment, and why running vSphere on NFS is a very viable option for many virtualization deployments.
