Known Limitations

vNIOS virtual appliance for Xen supports most of the features of the Infoblox NIOS appliances, with the following limitations:

  • vNIOS appliances do not support the following features:
    • Configuration of port settings for MGMT, LAN, LAN2, and HA ports
    • The bloxTools environment
  • 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 run on virtual hardware. They do not have sensors to monitor the physical CPU temperature, fan speed, and system temperature.
  • Changing the vNIOS appliance settings through the vNIOS for Xen virtual appliance console may violate the terms of the vNIOS licensing and support models. The vNIOS appliance may not join the Grid or function properly.
