Yes, I believe the aligned partitions issue is VMware specific.
I don’t know what Cisco has to say about it, but I always feel better knowing the install was direct from a fresh 9 install rather than a 7->9 upgrade. Since the DRS backup and restore from an upgraded 9x onto a fresh 9x is acceptable in the Jump Upgrade in VMware I don’t see a problem with it on the physical side. On a side note, are you using any ATAs?

Thanks Dennis. I believe that 'aligned partitions' are a VM issue only? I am currently on MCS (HP equiv) servers.

I have an opportunity (maybe, if time permits) to rebuild an off-line cluster after I upgrade it from v7 to v9. The question is, is there any advantage to building a cluster from scratch and restore from DRS, so that it is built from v9 installation media rather than from a v7 upgrade? I recall seeing a number of bugs in the past that said something to the effect of "...if installation was an upgrade, disk space, etc. etc...." Can anything thing of any advantages of doing this? This will help us test our disaster recovery process as well.
