For primary storage originating from a storage array, VxRail dynamic node clusters require that storage to come from a Dell storage platform, specifically PowerStore, PowerMax, UnityXT, VMAX, or PowerFlex. VxRail dynamic node clusters support Fibre Channel (FC) and IP-based storage. FC, NVMe, iSCSI, and NFS storage protocols are supported. VMware Virtual Machine File Systems (VMFS), VMware vSphere Virtual Volumes (vVols), and file systems storage types are supported.
VxRail also supports primary storage from PowerFlex and vSAN clusters using vSAN cross-cluster capacity sharing.
