No biggie: EMC's XtremIO firmware upgrade 'will wipe data'

CaterhamKing

You Joke?

Seriously. EMC employees trying to justify this are only making it worse. It's a joke.

Nutanix upgrades it's software routinely during business operations. Before someone comments about the magnitude of this XtremIO code release, Nutanix changed their OS in their CVM a while back, non-disruptively, nobody noticed.

EMC, just come out, admit all your sales guys misrepresented the solution with respect to never needing a disruptive upgrade, apologise, and ensure that if your customers do it and stay with you now, whatever you deliver ensures they never have to do it again!
