We have been using the X4500 storage server in many projects as storagenode without problems. The Solaris x64 as storagenode is a supported plattform (they have even special licenses for it), and the X4500 is a regular AMD CPU based system, not more, not less. I can not imagine any reason why EMC telling it not being supported. I would not lose any sleep over this either :-)

Attila,

Can you tell us more about the "special licenses". Do the X4500's not license under a standard Unix Storage Node license?

Thanks,

Mark
