Hello,
I have little experience with storage EMC and I would have a couple of questions about the use of vSphere 5.5 with CLARiiON CX4 storage 120 and vnx5200.
Both the storage are connected fiber channel.
I have to update my infrastructure to vSphere 4.1 to vSphere 5.5.
My infrastructure is composed of 3 servers DELL, one CLARiiON CX4 120 and a EMC2 VNX5200.
First I saw that the Clariion CX4 storage 120 does not support VAAI with vSphere 5.5 while the storage vnx5200 supports it.
So, since I want to use archiving VAAI on VNX 5200 and I can not use it on the Clariion CX4 (as VAAI is not supported with vSphere 5.5).
I like I do?
I leave the failover mode to 1 for the CLARiiON CX4 120 and I configure the failover mode 4 for vnx5200?
It is correct to use the round robin for multipath for vnx5200?
I will use multipath vmware.
It makes sense to set iops from 1000 to 1 as per article vmwarehttp://kb.vmware.com/selfservice/microsites/search.do?language=en_US&cmd=displayKC&externalId=2069356 ?
If I leave the failovermode 1 for clariion CX4-120 emc and then as multipath should I choose MRU is a solution supported by EMC in vSphere 5.5?
Thank you
Greetings
