RE: IOPless machines and multiple CPUs

I do not believe NFS is a supported storage medium for VIOS, guests yes, but not VIOS.

It would not make sense anyway to virtualize storage over a virtualized layer. VIOS requires all it's storage to be direct attached. (for that reason)

Hello Jim,

That’s the software. Now get the fiber And Ethernet switches to support the virtual environment and the cost goes up dramatically, so does the complexity.

Since I don't know VIOS at all, this question my be dumb. But without questions, I don't get answers. :-)

I've a broad Vmware ESXi background skillset. Vmware supports putting virtual disk files onto NFS. What about VIOS? Block storage only? Or NFS possible?
