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 ?

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)
