  • For the new vNIOS for KVM models supported from NIOS 9.0.1 onwards, Infoblox recommends that you use SSDs for storage for better performance. See the tables in this topic for the supported models.

  • The specified Trinzic X6 series appliances running on NIOS 9.0.2 or later support the following features:

    • Virtual Advanced DNS Protection: All supported appliances of Trinzic

      X6 series

      X6 series.

    • Virtual DNS Cache Acceleration: IB-V2326 and IB-V4126 appliances.

...

    • V2326 and IB-V4126 appliances.

  • If a Trinzic X5 vNIOS instance is running on a NIOS version prior to 9.0.1, the disk size will be set to 250 GB.

To achieve the best performance on your virtual appliances, follow the recommended specifications and allocate your resources within the limits of the licenses being installed on the appliances.

You can configure the vNIOS virtual appliance as a Grid member or a reporting member.

...

When you set up a vNIOS reporting virtual appliance, it is used solely for reporting purposes. You cannot add licenses to run other services such as DNS and DHCP on a reporting appliance. The Infoblox reporting solution automates the collection, analysis, and presentation of core network service data that assists you in planning and mitigating network outage risks so that you can manage your networks more efficiently. For more information about Infoblox Grids and reporting solution, refer to the Infoblox NIOS Documentation. Note that for reporting you must create an instance that has a second disk associated with it. For more information see, Setting Up vNIOS OpenStack Flavors.

  • NIOS for KVM is supported in the following environments: OpenStack, Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7.4, 7.5, 7.6, and Ubuntu 16.04. 
  • To achieve best performance on your virtual appliances, follow the recommended specifications and allocate your resources within the limits of the licenses being installed on the appliances.
  • Only IB-V1405 as a Reporting server has been qualified for OpenStack.
  • NIOS virtual appliance for Hyper-V is not recommended as a Grid Master or Grid Master Candidate.

...

The following are required for the installation of the vNIOS for KVM virtual appliance:

The qcow2 file for the specified vNIOS virtual appliance model. This is the vNIOS software package that you download from the Infoblox Technical Support site. To download the package, you must have a valid login account on the Infoblox Support site. Register your product at https://support.infoblox.com if you do not already have an account. Make sure that you download the qcow2 file.
The current qcow2 file format is compatible with KVM/QEMU version 2.1.3 or higher.
