Can VMAX support FLASH 2 on Gatekeepers?

Question

Hello, I am working on a solution for my customers and they asked me this questions, my understanding is NO we don't support but I am not sure what they really meaning the "Flash 2 on Gateway devices".

Thanks.

Yeah, similar with my understanding, do we support that? Not?

If you have other disks in the system, why not use those?

Since we support a 100% flash VMAX, we would have to support gakekeepers on EFDs, but in a box that also has spinning disks, it doesn't make any sense to use the EFDs for gatekeepers.
