only thing knauf spec is meah joints before coating. and obviously stainless screws if your installing the boards
the rest should.be down to the spec of the render manufacturer

I wouldn't do that mate - I would only advise a thin coat render system or light weight over the top of cement board

What if i put some expanded metal over it?
no metal lath, no sand and cement. it needs a thincoat system. best to stick to your board finish.

Sorry not been on for a while....
Onto Knauf Aquapanel Exterior, you need to apply a modern base coat and mesh first, then a top coat finish - all as per the render system suppliers spec
Fixing a metal lath and then using a tradiational OCR, S&C or Mono straight on may leave it open to cracking as the frame settles, as these products are fairly brittle and susceptible to cracking as the frame moves.
The modern base coat and mesh will hold the boards together and are flexible enough to restrict cracking to spec'd top coats base on normal expected shrinkage..... obviously, movement joints are needed at floor lifts and vertically as specified
Contact your render system supplier of Knauf for further help
