VNX-Pool limits: A Pool LUN can not use for - Clone Private LUN, - Write Intent Log, - Component of a Metalun, - Thin-LUN as a reserved Snap LUN | max. LUN size = 16TB | no disk removable

Unisphere Manager 1.1 for VNX support only one VNX and MV must be configured via CLI. Fixed Franklin Release; Write Cache is reduce by 1.6 MB DRAM per 1 GB of FAST Cache usable

VNX File recommendation - use traditional Raidgroup; today there is no Thin Provisioning option for NAS when using LUNs from FAST-VP Pool
