EMC VNX Round Robin supported without the need for PowerPath

I was recently asked to to a upgrade of a VI3.5 Environment to vSphere 5.1.  After doing the normal day on-sight checking the computability of all the components etc i quickly found that they were going to need full new server estate.

As luck would have it the customer had just purchased a VNX based EMC SAN and decided to use this for the vSphere environment.  So i started my design process and when checking the firmware versons etc on the VMware HCL i found a nice article detailing you can now use Round Robin PSP instead of Fixed.  Previously this was a licensed feature that needed PowerPath to be installed on the hosts.

Have a read here VMware KB2034799 to confirm support and Bios/firmware versions.
