Hi Srikanth,

Hyperscale X nodes are not supported as virtual machines. Hyperscale X nodes are only supported on either reference architecture listed at  https://www.commvault.com/hyperscale/software or as appliance hardware as per https://www.commvault.com/hyperscale/appliance 

Thanks

Hi Nick,

Yes, I know that as on today we dont support hyperscale x nodes as virtual machines, do we have any plan to get that done near future.

I am using hyperscale 1.5 appliance and ref arch based on my environment size , but I have small remote sites even entry level HS X with 60% of the resources are just idle ( I can go with Robo but in some sites we need even lesser) so planning for the next renewal like to go with hyperscale x (if it supports virtual machine ) or else just go for virtual MA.

Thanks

Hi @Srikanth K , I checked with some internal folks and there are no plans to support Hyperscale nodes as virtual machines,

@Srikanth K - The benefit of HyperScale / X is that it aggregates storage across local disks. When you virtualize, the datastores are generally backed by distributed, clustered or resilient storage already (albeit likely at a higher cost) - so there is no advantage to virtualizing it. Rather just use regular media agents.
