vNIOS Appliances

vNIOS appliances support most of the features of the Infoblox NIOS software, with some limitations. This topic describes these limitations. Table E.1 summarizes the supported vNIOS appliance models.

Note: VMware Tools are automatically installed for each vNIOS appliance. Infoblox supports the control functions in Hyper-V Manager and VMware Tools. For example, through the vSphere client, you can shut down the virtual appliance.

NOTES:

• You can freely assign resources to these virtual appliances to suit your business needs, as long as the resources are within the limits of the licenses being installed on the appliances.

¹For KVM hypervisor only. Not supported for KVM-based OpenStack. Does not support Elastic Scaling.

²vNIOS virtual appliance for Hyper-V is not recommended as a Grid Master or Grid Master Candidate. IB-VM-820 with 55 GB disk is not supported as the Grid Master or Grid Master Candidate for the vNIOS for KVM. The Identity Mapping feature is supported on the IB-VM-810 and IB-VM-820 appliances only if they are configured as Grid members, not as the Grid Master.

³Does not support Elastic Scaling.

⁴NIOS for KVM is supported in the following environments: OpenStack, RHEL, SuSE Enterprise and Cloud, and CentOS. Note that only IB-V1405 as a Reporting server has been qualified for OpenStack.

⁵ND virtual appliances are designed for Network Insight only. Discovery is supported in OpenStack only with SRIOV enabled.
