I wasn't aware of the details of the node migration feature though. Thanks for bringing it to my attention. I've not deployed SVC before so I need to do some reading up! Chuck

It has been possible for several years now to add nodes to an existing cluster and remove nodes without disrupting access to data. Furthermore, new nodes can be inserted that will assume the WWN of the node being replaced. So as node technology improves you can continue to upgrade your nodes without losing any access to data. Perhaps you may want to consider this one of the many strengths of an appliance based virtualization approach over a subsystem based virtualization approach.<br/><br/>Try an SVC in front of the USP and things can only get better.<br/><br/>Have a great day.

Try an SVC in front of the USP and things can only get better.

Have a great day.
