The last update I can find is from 2 years ago was a "maybe 2025" post. Nothing in the AC FAQ that I can find. Is this going to happen or should we just explore other conectivity options at this point? Servers are UCS with internal FC switching for now, we would like to configure uniform access. Pretty sure VMware isn't going to officially support multiple connection types for the same LUN/device/volume, unless someone knows something different.
You still have the most current information, as ActiveCluster is not currently supported with NVMe-oF for vSphere, but it is actively being worked on by Pure and VMware.
I've been told it's coming 1H of next year, so I'd recommend to connect with your Pure account team for us to capture some information for tracking the request and keeping you up to date with changes in status.
In my humble opinion… life’s about to get a lot more interesting once you step away from the predictability of FC. NVMe/TCP is fast and flexible, but it’s definitely not as boringly stable as Fibre Channel.
Only proceed IF your networking team understands storage traffic or you have dedicated switching in place...

I agree. However, this has always been the case with ethernet-based networking. I personally lived through this many years ago when I was a customer building out an iSCSI network.
