Configuration Limits
The following table describes the supported configuration limits for a PS Series group running version 10.0 of the PS Series firmware:
NOTE:
For the purposes of this table, a PS4XXX array is defined as any array in the PS4000-series family, which includes
PS4100, PS-M4110, PS4110, and PS4210 systems. Only two PS4XXX-series arrays can be in a mixed group of multiple array
types. A group consisting entirely of PS4XXX-series arrays has only two members. When a group contains a mix of PS4XXX
arrays and other array models, the higher limits prevail.
