Hello all,
Reading the docs of SMBC and trying to read between the lines now,
NAS isn't supported ok, SAN is supported ok but what about NVMe-oF in the latest 9.13.1? More needs now for this kind of deployment.
Thanks
#SM-BC Protocols supported

Are you talking about the ASA platform?

Not yet supported with SMBC. You can use NVMe/FC and NVMe/TCP with SM-S though.

SMBC? Is this a new version of CIFS?
Oh SnapMirror Business Continuity. Jeez.

Nvm me.

Nvm me.
Nvm me? Is that a new version of NVMe/FC? 😉
(yeah, I hate TLAs/FLAs as much as anyone 😄 )

Man I was just as confused lol

Glad it wasn't just me.

officially, it should be written as SM-BC though, which makes it a bit clearer

was hoping to have it

yeah its pretty strange how SM-BC supports ISCSI but not NVMe over TCP... especially for VMware

It might be on the roadmap so talk to your account team about it if it's a blocker for your business.

NVMe is a completely different protocol. iSCSI and FC share the same SCSI stack. NVMe didn't even have cross-node load balancing (ANA) for quite some time. So I don't think it's strange that not all features are supported with NVMe

That was my thought too.
