Hi Rainer_EMC

Thank you your Answer
I have another question.

if you can, can you system online upgrade NAS and SAN OE as well?

Hi,

I'm not seeing Unity on the VPLEX simple support matrix.

When will it be added? Is it officially supported?

Also, where can I find the release notes (with known bugs) for the GA version of Unity?

Thanks.

Hello King,

Currently other language packs are not supported, you can expect Unity simulator to support Japanese notations in about 2 months from now. At that time we will recreate the simulator to include language packs and will share.

Thanks !

Following up on the simple support matrix, we have the following VPLEX documents listing the support for Unity:

Hope this helps.

What migration methods are available between VNX File and Unity? Will there be a way to replicate data from VNX to Unity or will all the data need to be copied over?

Block replication between VNX and Unity is supported via Recoverpoint.

File replication is not supported between VNX and Unity.

Both block and file migration between VNX and Unity is being planned for 2H '16.

In addition datadobi, an EMC select partner can be used for file migration between VNX and Unity and also from few competitors.

Hi Experts

If the replication interface there is more than one.

It is not possible to specify a specific port in the replication session?
