NDU question first. If you do not activate the new flare, the new flare is still installed and running, you just can't make changes to the configuration. This allows you to go back to the previous version if you experience issues with the new version.  ONn ESM - that's correct, you don't see the version numbers for ESX, so by default, it's supported. We're looking to the possibility of creating a simple flare to OS version chart - this will make these questions easier to answer.  For ESX 3.5 you could only use failover mode 1 on the array and MRU on the host - this will not change in flare 30. You might want to upgrade the server software on the hosts (CLI, Host Agent), but probably not necessary.  glen
We have 4 ESX 3.5 hosts connected to CX4-480 Flare 04.28.000.5.707. We are going to upgrade to Flare 30 on this box. Just wanted to know whether ESX 3.5 Servers with Native Path Failover is supported by the new Flare code 30. When I checked on ESM, it did not show any specs of ESX 3.5 supported configuration.Can you confirm this is a supported configuration.  Also if we are going for Flare 30, which version I should go to ? I see lot of ETAs on Flare 30 and not confident enough to go for an upgrade on our boxes. Hows your experience with Unisphere compared to Navisphere so far?  Thanks a lot in advance.
ESX 3.5 Cluster supported on CX4-480 Flare 30 ?
