No Powerpath/VE support for CX700?
Unless I'm missing something, PP/VE for vSphere is supported only on AX, CX3, and CX4. We have a CX4-960, but we'd need to move everything over to it.
This, of course, brings up the question of PP/VE behavior on ESX connected to both CX700 and CX4...
Thanks!

I don't think you are quite correct dynamox. If you check the HCL on VMware's website you will actually find that the CX3 and CX4 are certified. CX700 is a no-go. Powerpath/VE should work with CLARiiON arrays with FLARE 23 or higher:
• AX series (AX 4-5 arrays only)
• CX3 series
• CX4 series
But I would recommend you check your configuration in the E-lab interoperability navigator.

I'd have to side with dynamox in his statement that CX series are not supported. It may seem like a fine distinction, but CX3 and CX4 are not "CX" series in the same way a CX3 is not a CX4. EMC just didn't name the original CX with clearly distinguished series names (since CX600 and CX700 were technically different generations).
So I guess the question in general is... how do other people interpret "CX"? Do they generally interpret it to mean everything from a CX200 to a CX4-960? Or just CX200 to CX700? If the general consensus is a broader product series, I guess some of us will need to be more careful how we use it.
