38 EMC VNX VG2/VG8 Gateway Configuration Setup Guide
Figure 8 shows an VG8 system with two Control Stations, four blade enclosures, and
eight blades (the maximum configuration for this system). In the VG8 system, the
first blade enclosure must have two blades (unlike the VG2 system, which can have
one or two blades). Each blade can have from one to five I/O modules; a mix of
different I/O module types is possible. The specific combination of I/O modules
within a blade must be the same for all blades within the system.
