The vNIOS virtual appliance has the following limitations:

• If you are using NIOS versions earlier than 8.6.x, if you configure an HA pair, both nodes in the HA pair must be NIOS virtual instances. You cannot configure a physical NIOS appliance and a NIOS virtual instance in an HA pair in versions earlier than 8.6.x.
• vNIOS appliances do not support the configuration of port settings for the MGMT, LAN, LAN2, and HA ports.
• vNIOS appliances run on virtual hardware. They do not have sensors to monitor the physical CPU temperature, fan speed, and system temperature.
