This is a vSphere environment backed by Nutanix, with 3 nodes using NFS datastores.
Currently, there are 3 Windows proxies (1 per node) and those proxies are multi homed (1 NIC on the vSphere LAN - with access to vCenter, Hosts, etc. - the other NIC is on the NFS network)
Nutanix recommends that we enable a registry key "EnableSameHostDirectNFSMode" as per their best practices guide (https://portal.nutanix.com/page/documen ... ended.html)
We also created a traffic rule to prefer the NFS network for backups (as per the recommendation here: https://portal.nutanix.com/page/documen ... tices.html) however this had a negative impact on performance when jobs were starting because the NFS network doesn't have any routing in place to vSphere, vCenter or the VBR server.
This is a V11 environment - are these recommendations still valid?

Re: vSphere on Nutanix - Best Practices for NFS
Hello,
I would go for direct-NFS with a physical proxy and remove the virtual proxies.
Best regards,
Hannes
