You eYou can install the NIOS virtual software package on a host with VMware ESX or ESXi 7.0.3, 7.0.2, 7.0, 6.7, 6.5.x, 6.0.x installed and configure it as a virtual appliance. You can configure the storage either with 250 GB or you can choose a configuration above 80 GB during the first boot.

Note

Note

  • To maintain high performance on your NIOS virtual appliances and to avoid not having enough resources to service all NIOS virtual appliances, do not oversubscribe physical resources on the virtualization host. Required memory, CPU, and disk resources must be adequately allocated for each NIOS virtual appliance that is running on the virtualization host. 

  • From NIOS 8.6.x onwards, hybrid HA is supported. A hybrid HA pair can comprise a physical appliance and a virtual appliance, two physical appliances, or two virtual appliances. For more information on limitations of using HA pair combinations, see Limitations of Using a Combination of a Physical Appliance and a Virtual Appliance for HA.

  • For the new vNIOS for VMware models supported from NIOS 9.0.1 onwards, you must use SSDs for storage. See the tables in this topic for the supported models.
