Flex Appliance support for iSCSI

Hi folks,

Does anyone know if Flex Appliance supports iSCSI, as we intend to use the MediaServer application as our "Backup Host" for Nutanix AHV cluster backup, which will require iSCSI protocol to perform the backup through Nutanix's "iSCSI data services IP address".

 

If not, this mean that we'll have to configure a separate Server/VM with iSCSI, right ?

 

Regards.

    Hi,
    in short if I wan to say "it will use iSCSI and if it is not available it will fall down to NFS"
    one way or another you do not need to create a separate server/VM.
    Just follow the admin guide, and you should be fine.
    a bit of advise , if you do not need secure communication (copying certificate from Nutanix to NetBackup),don't go for it :)
