Support for Hyperconverged Infrastructure on VMware ESXi Hypervisor
Resiliency Platform supports ESXi on Hyperconverged Infrastructure (HCI) such as Nutanix, VxRail and Cisco HyperFlex and others as long as they are supported as listed in the VMware Compatibility Guide.
The HCI must present their storage to vSphere as NFS, VMFS or vSAN as required for VMware VAIO Framework and Resiliency Platform IO Filter. HCI network switches should be presented to vSphere as Standard or Distributed Switches.
Resiliency Platform support for VMware vSphere security patches and bugfixes
VMware vSphere security patches and bugfixes can be applied to infrastructure that utilizes the Veritas Resiliency Platform, at the time of release the Resiliency Platform solution validates a base line of major and minor vSphere releases such as ESXi 7.0 update 3, ESXi 8.0 update 1, including respective vCenter versions and relevant patches that are available for vSphere. Subsequent patches may become available from VMware which may be past the release versions of Resiliency Platform and can be applied as recommended by VMware and although not specifically tested post release, Veritas works closely with VMware to ensure that these patches do not break functionality especially with respect to VMware API for IO filers (VAIO).
