Appliance Mode and Hotadd

Post by marius roma »

I need some clarification about the differences (if any) between Appliance Mode and Hotadd.
I am planning to create a proxy as a VM hosted by an ESXi host with iSCSI access to the datastores where the VMs to be processed reside: is this Appliance Mode or should I configure anything else?
After creating the proxy I will select Appliance mode to access disks: is this Hotadd or should I do anything else?
Can hotadd cause proformance issues to the VM being processed?
Regards
Marius

Appliance mode is indeed hotadd. There should no impact on the VM being processed from the hotadd.
