Hello,  Since W2K8R2 is basically EOL with Microsoft the new HIT kits aren't tested with current firmware releases.  Worst case you might have to configure MPIO manually on those two servers or use array based snapshots/replication vs. via ASM.  Upgrading to current EQL FW would be the better option.  Also check for any drive firmware upgrades as well. Even the new 6210 should be checked.  So you might want to add that into its own pool to start.  Upgrade firmware for array and drives before merging it in with the other arrays.  Regards, Don  
Hi, We have a SAN group whose members are currently at firmware 8.1.1.  We recently ordered a couple PS6210E's to add to the group, so I was going to upgrade the firmware ahead of time on the current members to 9.1.x.  Unfortunately, two of the servers that access this group are Windows Server 2008 R2 (HIT kit 4.7.3), and the HIT kits recommended for 9.1.x aren't available for that OS.  Are there significant risks to running a HIT kit that is not technically supported by the firmware (according to the compat. matrix)?  I see that 9.0.x is a possible option, but I wasn't sure if the new SANs would already be at a higher version. What recommendations do you have for my situation? Thanks
