We got our setup before hp bought them. We are running a raid 10 - 3 node setup and a raid 5 -2 node setup. We are using this for direct iscsi and for our migration to a esx blade setup.
We are planning to add the now p4000 10gb into the mix next month. We love the setup we have and really never have any major issues with it.
