  • ONTAP 9
  • ISCSI
  • Hyper-V
  • Windows Server Failover Cluster(WSFC)

Answer

  • Yes, in an iSCSI-connected Hyper-V and WSFC environment, tools such as Offloaded Data Transfer (ODX) and NetApp SnapDrive for Windows can be used to achieve functionalities equivalent to VMware VAAI's NFS plugin.
  • These tools provide advanced storage management features and improve performance by offloading specific operations to the storage array.
