Existing Nimble & dHCI

[hhiggins]

Howdy,

I have an existing Nimble NBLHF40 array that is about 1 yr old. This array is for our VMware cluster that is running on our C7000 Blade environment. Should we move to dHCI, could our existing array be re-used?

Thanks

Conversion from typically Nimble Array to dHCI is not supported.

Besides, dHCI is a integrated solution currently only works well with Proliant Gen9 or Gen10 server; if we're using Blade C7000 for now,  then the answer should be negative.

Please note that dHCI stack currently support single VM cluster for now, if you would like to deploy another set of VMware cluster with Proliant servers, then it will be a good choice...  And Async Replication from "typical" array to dHCI array is allowed; therefore DR use case can still be achieved.
