We are (finally) at the purchasing stage of our virtualization project.
For the HBAs we are seeing two version of the QLA4050C. The QLA4050C-E-SP @ $555 and the QLA4050C-CK @ $779.
Based on the descriptions the difference seems to be at the firmware level, with the QLA4050C-E-SP having EMC firmware. Can I use the QLA4050C-E-SP with a non-EMC array?
