Diskless EMC AX100

Asked by Maxwellb in Storage Technology, Hard Drives & Storage, VMware

Tags: EMC, AX100, SAN, Storage, FLARE, Dell

Hi Experts,

I have an EMC AX100 sitting in the corner unused. I REALLY would like to start using it, but have never worked with any EMC product before. One show-stopper might be that there are no disks in it, and from what I've read the FLARE OS is supposed to be stored on disk 0 or something like that. Assuming I can get a hold of some disk trays for this thing, what are the chances of getting it actually working? Are Navisphere Express and the latest FLARE OS free downloads? How would I get FLARE OS onto one of the disks?

A slightly unrelated question: Can I use generic SATA disks ("enterprise class")? It's not like this thing is going to be used for anything really mission critical...

Thanks,
Max
