Great, thanks very much for the confirmation.

Yes the next VNX OE will contain the new UniSphere version

I guess the white paper being already available means the code isn't far away

Thanks Rainer. When it does get released, will it be incorporated into the Flare OE? In other words, will the next Flre release 05.31.00.5.013(?) contain v1.1.25?

Also, how come that whitepaper is already released if the code isn't?

Regards,

George.

Keep in mind, for this Unisphere feature you should be able to even without upgrading FLARE or DART (to get the latest version of Unisphere when managed directly from the SP's or CS), run the Unisphere (Off-Array) Server Utility when it is released to get the highly anticipated Unisphere (VNX) domain membership feature.

Of course, any features/fixes fundamental to the version of FLARE or DART require the proper code on the array, but for Unisphere features such this, by managing your environment via the Unisphere (Off-Array) Server utility this could hold you over until you get the arrays upgraded.  There are of course many other reasons to obtain the newest FLARE and DART code when it does get released.

Rainer, can you confirm whether this is true?  Code is not yet out, and I hesitate to make this comment with absolute certainty, but I have do not have any reason to believe this is not possible.

I wouldnt jump to that conclusion

Rainer

Thanks Rainer; I agree after thinking about it again.  I'm giving the domain member station role of a separate Unisphere Management station more credit than it is capable of.

Ah, I can see that a new Flare for Block 05.31.000.5.502 and Flare for File OE 7.0.35.3 are available for download. I couldn't find the release notes for 05.31.000.5.502 though. Could this be the version that contains Unisphere v1.1.25?

This is just the name of the download site – the code is definitely GA – the announcement was sent out today.

Rainer

supportbeta.emc.com eh...? I think I'll hold off until it's GA.

Thanks,

George.
