This place has become so much quieter ever since the HP announcement.

So any more information on the snapshots limit introduced in OS 4.1.0? Thanks.

[chris24]

Not so quiet from my perspective, would appreciate some tumbleweed

The object limit for snapshots on release will be up to 300,000 per pool.

Many thanks,

Chris

Edit: Updated the count.

Is Adobe Flash no longer a requirement with 4.1.0?  I'm liking the new interface. 

Also - I was a bit bummed to see no details on Dedupe for CS series arrays..

[Nick_Dyer]

Dedupe on hybrid was never planned to be in the NimbleOS 4.x release schedule. Expect more information in the coming months on this, it is still on the radar!

The new interface is indeed non-flash based! <rejoice!>

[Valdereth]

Yes - props on the new interface Nimble bros! 

[jstinson105]

I'm very glad to hear dedupe on CS arrays is still a goal. We've been wanting that for a long time.

Also very thankful for a little less flash in my life.

all links do not work? 

thanks 

[philwaller]

Jesus this is infuriating 

all the links were working this morning - do people just make changes willy nilly at HP?

[Nimble_Steven_N]

@philwaller I am not sure what happened to the links provided but here is the InfoSight link to the landing page for NOS 4.x

https://infosight.hpe.com/resources/nimble/docs?Version+Family=NOS+4.x

I will get in touch with the InfoSight team to look at the links that are broken from this page.

please note that you can always look at the latest links from InfoSight by choosing:

Resources > (Under Nimble Storage) Documentation

[Nick_Dyer]

Indeed, you shouldn't really follow links from a forum, as things may change without notice.

Always obtain the documentation you need directly from HPE Infosight. 

Resources->Documentation

[Omark]

none of these links works. and not showing on Infosight > documentation.

what is next legit version to upgrade current NimbleOS 4.5.1.0-542804-opt?
