VNXe update coming, Beta participation welcome!

[update – 10/6/11 – 10:56am] – I should have said “Award winning VNXe”!  The VNXe just won: “CRN’s Most Innovative Storage Technology” category for 2011.   Details here: http://www.emc.com/about/news/press/2011/20111006-01.htm

And that’s BEFORE this upcoming software update!

-------

There’s a lot of VMware-centric goodness in this one (some I know people have been eagerly awaiting), so if you’re a VNXe customer interested in participating in the Beta, please leave me a comment – I’ll followup with you offline…

Hi Chad,
Could be interested for that (if it may be implemented in production).
Do you know about troubles with SRM 5/ SRA5 for VNX on Celerra ?
For me it works well on NFS with standard devices (cge0, fxg0,...) but not with FSN or LA devices i create.
And it doesn't work either with iSCSI. So bad.
VMware support send me to EMC.
EMC support said 'it has not been tested'.
I'm waiting for level 2 call...
Thanks for all the precious informations you deliver on your blog.

Chad,

Really interested in the beta code for the vnxe. I'm the webmaster of http://www.vnxe.nl and we just installed the vnxe3300 you've send to Duco Jaspars from @vconsult so we're ready to test the beta code on that system.

Btw, if you have another vnxe laying around doing nothing ;-) a happy emc cx4 customer in the netherlands reserved some free rack space for me which could be filled with another vnxe to do some replication, SRM tests to the vconsult system.

Regards
John Grinwis
