QuestionQ28

Describe VMware-based Infrastructure Architecture and Technologies

A customer has an existing VMware vSphere v8 environment where VM disks reside on a VMFS datastore. The customer needs to upgrade the environment’s shared storage and, specifically, wants to speed up latency-sensitive workloads by deploying NVMe in the shared storage. The customer uses an FC SAN.

When choosing the HPE storage array, which feature should you verify it supports?

Explanation

NVMe over Fibre Channel (NVMe/FC or FC-NVMe) provides shared NVMe-over-Fabrics storage across an existing Fibre Channel SAN, enabling vSphere hosts to access NVMe namespaces with the FC transport. VMware’s API documentation identifies Fibre Channel as an NVMe-over-Fabrics transport and defines the parameters for an NVMe-over-Fibre-Channel connection.
