Upon transitioning from SAN to a Nutanix AHV cluster, what actions must an administrator take to support various connected hosts?

Deploying Volumes for AIX and SQL workloads is essential when transitioning from a SAN to a Nutanix AHV cluster. AIX workloads require specific configurations that can be supported effectively by Nutanix, and Volumes provide the necessary storage architecture to optimize performance and manageability for these legacy systems.

In addition to AIX workloads, SQL workloads can also benefit significantly from the enhanced storage capabilities that Nutanix offers. By using Volumes, administrators can ensure that SQL databases are allocated the appropriate resources and storage efficiencies that are characteristic of the Nutanix platform. This deployment allows for improved data management practices and supports higher availability as well as performance.

The focus on deploying Volumes, rather than performing migrations or deploying files, underlines the strategic importance of enabling the ecosystem of legacy and critical applications within the Nutanix environment. Thus, ensuring that these specific storage needs are met is crucial for a successful transition to a modern hyper-converged infrastructure.
