VxRail supports a number of storage protocols for Dell storage that is attached to VxRail dynamic nodes. For PowerStore specifically, there is a wide selection of options depending on how our customers want to take advantage of various protocols.
Storage protocol | Storage type | PowerStore |
Fibre Channel | VMFS | 2.0.1.x |
Fibre Channel | vVols | 3.2.0.x |
FC-NVMe | VMFS | 3.2.0.x |
FC-NVMe | vVols | 3.2.0.x |
iSCSI | VMFS | 2.0.1.x |
iSCSI | vVols | 3.2.0.x |
NFS | File System | 2.0.1.x |
NFS | vVols | 3.2.0.x |
NVMe/TCP | VMFS | 3.2.0.x |
NVMe/TCP | vVols |

Note: The NFS protocol for PowerStore is not supported with the LCM integration of Dynamic AppsON.
TCP (since we are going back to 3-tier, this gives you direct-attach like performance over the network)
vVols give you volume granularity with your VM datastores, enabling you to manage more of your storage from vCenter. In line with above)
