Optimize NAS Volume for Use as VMware vSphere Datastore
When you congure the NAS volume to use VM (virtual machine) consistent snapshots, each snapshot creation (scheduled, manual,
replication, NDMP and so on) automatically creates an additional snapshot on the VMware server.
About this task
When enabled, if the VMware servers are dened, the NAS volume is aware that it is being used as a repository for a VM datastore.
The NAS volume creation is synchronized with relevant VM snapshot creation in order to keep VMware data stored on the NAS
volume in a consistent state.
NOTE: VM application awareness cannot be used on NAS volumes that use the global namespace feature.
