Adding new Flash Drive and FAST

hi all,

Currenty I am using the Clariion CX4-120 with 45 FC drives and consist of 9 storage group.

The question is :  if later I want to add a flash drive and use FAST (Fully Automated storage tiering) technology, do I need to re-design of existing storage group ?

Thank you,

Andarwen

    To use FAST you must:

    1) Be using Storage Pools, not RAID Groups

    2) Have FLARE 30 of higher

    3) Have the FAST enabler installed

    4) Have a mix of drive types in the same Storage Pool (i.e.: EFD, FC, SATA or some combination thereof)
