What would be huge is if Windows Server and Hyper-V supported NFS instead of just ISCUSI channels to storage.

    SMB/NFS via Tintri and NetApp (amongst others) + Hyper-V is supported and has worked for many years, the built in SCVMM integration with both via SMI-S also streamlines this deployment scenario.

      Except that NetApp hasn't made any updates to their SMI-S provider in ages, and Server 2022/SCVMM 2022 is technically unsupported. NetApp ONTAP isn't even listed as a supported storage appliance as of 2022. See https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/system-center/vmm/supported-arrays?view=sc-vmm-2022 It _was_ supported in 2019.

    Yeah. NFS would be ideal, but they can use SMB3 from NAS arrays which brings things like SMB multichannel and what-not.

      true many do not consider the benefits of SMB Multichannel and other technology when it comes to storage and networking. Most are still on iSCSI with the given limitations and efficiency constraints / CPU use / bottlenecks.
