The Infoblox vNIOS for Microsoft Hyper-V is a virtual appliance designed to run on Microsoft Windows® Server 2012 R2, 2016, and 2019. You can use Hyper-V Manager or SCVMM to install the vNIOS virtual appliance. Note that the vNIOS virtual appliance for Hyper-V requires Windows Server 2012 R2 that has DAS (Direct Attached Storage) installed.
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.
Infoblox vNIOS for Microsoft Hyper-V provides most of the features supported by NIOS, with some limitations. For more information, see Known Limitations.
