We haven't yet had to test the firmware update in a live equallogic environment so this seems to be one less thing to be concerned about. I have just completed a pilot of VMWare ESXi and Equallogic storage for a state government office in Australia. We have already purchased an additional 18 Equallogic units and are ready to deploy. To remove the hassle of tape backups on remote sites I will be backing up the remote replicas rather then the local "live" volumes. Equallogic don't actually provide any scripts to help with this so it looks like I will build my own. If you have any scripts you are able to share please let me know. Otherwise I can let you know how it works out. Cheers Andrew Duggan Thanks for taking the time to put this information online.
