Important patch for Celerra+NFS+VMware

Anyone using (or planning to use) a Celerra to support NFS datastores with VMware (3.x or 4.x) – you should upgrade your DART to the latest version. Reach out to EMC support (1-800-SVC-4-EMC).

This is classified as a Sev 1 for EMC, so make sure you upgrade, and when you contact EMC support, ask about AR 144996

The “out of the box” NFS configuration is fine, but there was a regression bug that caused VMs to blue-screen if you enabled a common Celerra NFS optimization in VMware use cases (configuring the uncached filesystem mount parameter)

I’m back from vacation (not officially, but unofficially) – sorry for the blog absence, but was nice to unplug with my family, windsurf my brains out, and charge up for VMworld!
