+3We have decided to move our backup data to the NetApp AFF A90 and allow the existing NetApp system to age off in line with the retention policy.
Could you please advise on how best to present the volumes to the MediaAgents—whether as block storage or via NFS? We would like to understand which option would be more suitable for our use case.
Additionally, could you confirm whether NVMe is supported by Commvault version 11.40?
+12Hi
Good day!
For presenting storage to the MediaAgents, block storage (SAN LUNs) is recommended over NFS, as it provides better and more consistent performance, aligns with Commvault disk library best practices, and avoids NFS‑related overhead and stability concerns.
Additionally, NVMe is supported in Commvault version 11.40 when presented as block storage and can be used for disk libraries, index cache, and deduplication workloads without any special configuration.
