Does VxFlex OS (ScaleIO) support VMware Virtual Machine VMDK Encryption

Hello All

We are trying to confirm if VxFlex OS (ScaleIO) running ESXi 6.5 supports VMware Virtual Machine VMDK Encryption.

The assumption is that if VxFlex OS supports vSphere, then it will support all of the features (ie. VM encryption).

Per https://kb.vmware.com/s/article/55323 - here are the mappings of ESXi and ScaleIO\Flex OS versions

ESXi 6.5 supports:
ScaleIO versions 2.0.1.3, 2.0.1.4, 2.5
VxFlex OS version 2.6, 3.0

Can someone point me to any Dell\EMC documentation that confirms that VMware Virtual Machine VMDK Encryption is supported on ScaleIO\VxFlex OS?

I dont think you will be able to find such a document, ScaleIO is a block storage, what ever you do with SIO volumes is up to you.

Hi, For encryption you might need to consider using CloudLink. It provides infrastructure-level data-at-rest encryption for Dell EMC PowerFlex.
