Hi!

To start with, i'd like to know if it's possible to use both the regular LUN and the snapshot LUN from a VNX in a VPLEX.

I can see both LUNs, but only one storage volume.

Now, i can understand why this would happen. The snapshot LUN basically has the same identity as the regular LUN.

But is this still possible in any way?

We'd really like to be able to use all the nifty features of our VNX hardware, such as snapshotting, cloning and everything.

But with VPLEX in the mix, we instantly lose all those features AFAICT right now.

Also, the VMWare guys are asking about using VAAI as well. I think this is a similar issue. The VNX supports VAAI no problem.

Thanks in advance.
