Note
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.
Virtual DNS Cache Acceleration: IB-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.
