At the last CiscoLive I heard quite a few issues getting remote storage working properly and keeping it working properly. The calculations they presented to ensure it would work was like a first year calculus class.</div><div><br></div><div>What I was hoping was that the UCSExpress module would be TRC approved at some point so we could run a few of those, but after finding out about how each server in the cluster has to be the same specs (still not sure why) not sure if that will fly in our environment.</div><div><br></div><div>Lelio</div><div><br></div><div>P.S.
