VNXe 1600 - Documentation Error

I have seen multiple references to the fact that multi-level storage tiers, and auto-tiering, is not enabled on VNXe 1600's. One such reference is this Knowledgebase Article:  Article Number 000482280


However, this directly conflicts with the documentation, and the Administration Guide, which says that multi-technology tiers are supported, and automatic tiering with FastVP is enabled.

    Can you provide the document name that says that the VNXe1600 supports FAST VP (tiering). All the documents that I've found say that the VNXe1600 does not support FAST VP.

    STORAGE POOL CREATION

         Create multiple pools in order to:

               Utilize different tiers of drives

                   o VNXe1600 requires separate pools for different drive types

               Separate workloads with different I/O profiles

                   o Predominantly sequential workloads should be placed in dedicated pools

               Dedicate resources, to meet specific performance goals
