VNX e3150 question
Hi,
I'd like to know more about the optional Flex Modules.
One option is the 4 port 1G BaseT, the other is 2-port 10G BaseT.
I guess the 1G BaseT modules use standard Cat6.
1) What cables are required for the 10 G BaseT modules?
2) From experience anyone have an opinion on this as a NAS box?
Thanks.

Hi,
1. VNXe3150 supports two I/O personality modules:
a.) Four-port 1-Gb/s copper Ethernet I/O personality module
b.) Two-port 10-Gb/s copper Ethernet I/O personality module
So, you can use copper Ethernet (RJ-45) to connect is OK.
I guess you may confused VNXe3150 and VNXe 3300. VNXe 3300 supports:
Two-port 10-Gb/s optical iSCSI I/O module
Two-port 10-Gb/s Ethernet RJ-45 Base-T I/O module
So, when use Two-port 10-Gb/s optical iSCSI I/O module, we need to use optical cable.
But VNXe3150 support copper Ethernet I/O personality module, so just use copper Ethernet (RJ-45) to connect is OK.

About the question2,
I don't have real experience about useing VNXe instead of Celerra.
But, as I know VNXe can also provide many features as blow, so I think can make VNXe as a NAS box.
The VNXe series delivers significant advancements in efficiency, simplicity, and affordability. Major benefits of VNXe series storage systems include:
Support for file (CIFS and NFS) and block (iSCSI) storage
Snapshots and replication (local and remote)
Application-focused provisioning, and built-in best practices
VMware and Hyper-V server integration
A new Unisphere interface for simplified management
