As far as I know, the only VMAX arrays that have pre-configured pools are the 10K arrays.  These arrays do not support thick devices.  All other VMAX arrays can have thick or thin or a mixture of both.
hi VMAX gurus,  is there any Hyper limit for each disk in VMAX new series.  Recently we had a technical session for with EMC.As per the discussion,   New VMAX Series with Engunity 5876 works slightly different with VMAX with engunity 5875        While initializing the Array , the will add all the disks(with resepect to type) to one virtual pool where they will format all the disk drives to TDAT's and create one big pool with some specific raid configurations in backend.  Here are my Questions  Q1> so if we want to create any thick device we need to mention preallocate size to all is that true/not  Q2> If the above is the case then is there any hyper limit for these arrays (they said no hyper limit with engunity 5876 ) it that true Q3> since we are creating such a big pool will it have any impact on CACHE  Can any one give clarification for my doubts.I was unable to ask these questions in the session.
Any hyper limit for VMAX 10,20 & 40k
