Memory upgrade for the VNXe 3100 with dual SP's
It looks like EMC is shipping the VNXe 3100 with Dual SP's with 8 GB of memory per SP instead of the 4 GB per SP they were previously shipped. There is an upgrade (V21-MEM-DUPG8 ) that we can purchase for our old (a couple months) Dual SP 3100. My question should we spend the money? We have only two DAE's; so our system is relatively small. Will we see a performance boost from the additional memory? Does it cache more data with the additional memory? Why is EMC shipping new systems with the additional memory?

I think it depends on system load. We just had a case where we were told if we use jumbo frames unsder heavy load the base memory config can crash. Personally to em that saya the under provisione them initially
