Hi Guys - a customer has pointed out some confusing information regarding FA, ESXi ISCSI and port binding
According to https://core.vmware.com/resource/best-practices-running-vmware-vsphere-iscsi#sec7262-sub12 port binding is unsupported if the FA has iscsi-interfaces in 2 subnets. On https://support.purestorage.com/Solutions/VMware_Platform_Guide/User_Guides_for_VMware_Solutions/FlashArray_VMware_Best_Practices_User_Guide/VMware_and_iSCSI_FAQs#NIC_Teaming_vs_Port_Binding.2C_which_should_I_use.3F|https://support.purestorage.com/Solutions/VMware_Platform_Guide/User_Guides_for_VMware_S[…]ay_VMware_Best_Practices_User_Guide/VMware_and_iSCSI_FAQs it is stated "So which should you use? The answer here is clear, port binding whenever possible. This is not only recommended as a best practice with Pure Storage but by VMware as well."

Is it possible to present a volume read-only to one host but read-write to other hosts?
Use case: present VMFS volumes normally to a VMware cluster and read-only to a server running backup software for SAN transport backups.

Is the concept of "refreshing" volume groups possible
Is the concept of "refreshing" volume groups possible on an existing copy of a volume group? Let me rephrase. Say I setup a volume group (VG) of 24 volumes (PRD01) that are for a production database. I want to snapshot that group of 24 volumes and create a copy of it to repurpose as a prod support DB copy (COPY01) and another copy to mount on another server to get backed up (COPY02). When its time to backup the server again can I refresh the data of PRD01 group to COPY02?

Is there a way, on the flasharray (either GUI or CLI) to check connections hitting a specific port on one of the controllers?
I've got a support case open on this as well, but it appears that we have no hosts hitting one particular port on our array despite all configs looking correct

Release notes for purity
When I look at the release notes for purity https://support.purestorage.com/FlashArray/FlashArray_Release/01_Purity_FA_Release_Notes/9929_Purity%2F%2F%2F%2FFA_6.1.x_Release_Notes#6.1.22_Release_Notes Notes it says "Addresses several CVEs. (PURE-267648, PURE-261137)" - I cannot find anything regarding PURE-267648 and PURE-261137. I have tried searching the CVE db, but there is nothing about 6.1.22 and fixed CVEs. Where do i find this information?
