ODX Requirements

Hyper-V ODX requires hardware to host the virtual hard disk files, connected to the virtual machine as either:

  • Virtual SCSI devices
  • Directly attached physical disks (also known as pass-through disks)
  • Natively attached VHDX-based virtual disks
NOTE: VHD-based or VHDX-based virtual disks attached to a virtual IDE controller do not support ODX.
