Ya, not really recommended any longer. The upgrade IOPS, etc required during an upgrade jump significantly. Concurrent upgrades would put a tremendous strain on off box storage. I doubt very highly you'd get a storage team to guarantee four x upgrade req's for a concurrent upgrade on four servers. <br><br>Sent from my iPhone</div><div><br>On Dec 17, 2014, at 9:34 PM, Lelio Fulgenzi <<a href="mailto:lelio@uoguelph.ca">lelio@uoguelph.ca</a>> wrote:<br><br></div><blockquote type="cite"><div><meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8"><div>The one thing that didn't click for me was that all the requirements they give re: IOPS, etc is per server and is additive. When you give these numbers to your storage folks, the usual response is that it's difficult to guarantee those numbers.
