Using VNX disks in Unity ?

Hi Admins,

I have a VNX 5600 running latest flare and I have many mixed pools in it.

Recently we thought to purchase a Unity Hybrid or a All Flash model. By keeping the support for VNX 5600, Is there a possibility of shifting and re-using the VNX disks (either SATA, SAS or SSDs) in the Unity Hybrid / All Flash models ?

If yes, what will be challenges I may face ?

  • Licensing issues
  • Code limitations
  • Disk Enclosure compatibility issues
  • Pricing

Would appreciate your comments. Thank you.

    VNX disks cannot be used in Unity - different disks and carriers/connectors
