Greetings,  Thank you for the question. It is not trivial, so here is a straight answer.  The LAN connectivity of an NS-960 X-Blade is no longer fixed (as it was when the product was first launched), but there are restrictions on the changes that can be made.   So yes, you can add 10 GbE modules to the empty slots of your existing Data Movers. See my other posting for some more details around this.  Regards,  Kola
Hello All,  I need some calrifications about the LAN connectivity options for my Datamovers. Since september 2010, I've a brand new NS-960 with 4 datamovers, each of them hosting two 4xGig Nic module.  Now, I'd like to upgrade my connectivity to 10gbps for my datamovers, while still keeping a 4xGig module for redundancy. The Tengig module would be connected to my primary Cisco switch, while a trunk of 4xGig would be connected to my secondary switch.  I was told (by EMC representative) that:  1- I need to change my whole datamovers to have "tengig-enabled" DM (?)  2- Tengig and 4xGig module can not cohabit because of no correct fail-over. So I've to choose 2 xTenGig module to setup my redudancy.  Is it true ?  Both seems quite annoying to me.  Why is it not possible to simply add a TenGig module to my current DM and setup a redundancy between it and the 4gbps trunk ?  Thank you for you answers
