We had asked EMC about support for Clariion a couple of years ago. They replied that DMX was fully supported/certified but that they were not certify'ing Clariion. We do have 1 test server using Clariion lun's - never went any further with it.

I don't recommend it. It took a lot of pain to do it, and wouldn't choose to use it for anything but scratch space that you don't care about, and only for dedicated storage for Linux guests. I wouldn't put z/VM data on it. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For LINUX-390 subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO LINUX-390 or visit http://www.marist.edu/htbin/wlvindex?LINUX-390 ************************************************************ This communication, including attachments, is for the exclusive use of addressee and may contain proprietary, confidential and/or privileged information.
