To use FAST you must:  1) Be using Storage Pools, not RAID Groups 2) Have FLARE 30 of higher 3) Have the FAST enabler installed 4) Have a mix of drive types in the same Storage Pool (i.e.: EFD, FC, SATA or some combination thereof)  For more information see FAST/FAST Cache - Start Here  White Paper: EMC FAST for CLARiiON
hi all,  Currenty I am using the Clariion CX4-120 with 45 FC drives and consist of 9 storage group.  The question is :  if later I want to add a flash drive and use FAST (Fully Automated storage tiering) technology, do I need to re-design of existing storage group ?  Thank you, Andarwen
