It took me a long time to understand how these mechanisms work together, since there was no single document (that I could find) describing their integration and correct usage; which left experimentation in my Pre-Production environment. This post is an attempt to correct that knowledge gap. Continue reading EMC FAST-VP & PowerPath/VE with Storage DRS & Storage I/O Control
