Didn't see it in the list, didn't test it yet either...

Are they incorrectly supported now?

Well, you can check the following links and I'm sure you can find some more...

I checked my own CPU usage, and sure enough I'm using one CPU about twice as much as the other. This doesn't mean it isn't supported though. Support told me to use two CPUs, and it may not be perfectly balanced, but in what world would it be?
As for the upgrade to 9.0 not working with multiple CPUs, just move it down to one, upgrade and move it back. I didn't run into that problem myself, since my hosts were 32 bit, and in replacing the hosts, I just did a fresh 9.0 install.

Per a little bird, SAN/iQ 9.5 will be released on Tuesday, October 4th.

Yup, just checked CMC and its there.

Downloading as we speak, time for some testing.

SAN/IQ 9.5.00.1215 release notes look to be here.  Having problems getting the CMC to download the files at the moment.

Hi,

I had to try myself some times to re-connect... I assume the FTP server is sometimes a little over charged...

I noticed that it downloads now in blocks so that you don't loose a lot of files when disconnected... In my case it was around 1.5GB which was downloaded in 5 or 6 times...

Downloaded this night, upgraded this morning... Worked great, everything stayed online...

Kr,

Bart

It was also visible on the software depot this early morning @ https://h20392.www2.hp.com/portal/swdepot/displayProductInfo.do?productNumber=P4000SW

But a few hours later they flipped it back to 9.0.

I hope this isn't another form of "EVA-4400 sickness syndrome"...
