For initial launch, not supported unless you are migrating data and will then remove the commodity hardware from the cluster. Future would be to allow all hardware to interoperate.
Hi folks,  I have a question here regarding the new announced ScaleIO nodes, where EMC provides server nodes to have full SW and HW supported by EMC. From SW only approach, we can confidently say that ScaleIO can aggregate all internal storage in any server in data center regardless of server vendor. Now when customer has ScaleIO cluster with EMC server nodes, he can definitely scale out with any mix of the 4 node options offered by EMC, but my question is, can he mix commodity servers from any other vendor with EMC servers in the same cluster, or this cluster of EMC servers has to scale with EMC servers as well and other servers should form a new cluster with SW only licenses.  I'm confident SW only version of ScaleIO is independent of server vendor, but this is just not clear in ScaleIO nodes (SW&HW together) presentation/datasheet.  Thanks in advance for your help.  Best regards, Zein
Can I mix ScaleIO Nodes (EMC Servers) with non-EMC server nodes in same ScaleIO 
cluster?
