Hello ,

I am planning to implement AFF400 NVMe/FC for SAP HANA and Vmware. I need some inputs on the design. What is the best recommendations for SVM. can I create one dedicated SVM for the NVMe protocol. Recently I read if I enable NVMe other protocols can't be enabled.

Hi All,

Thanks for the support. I was able to implement NvME over FC successfully. The only problem customer can't use snapcenter since it is not supported over NvME.For sanpcenter backup they have to use FC
