Hi Xose. OPM is no longer supported in the Dell VPLEX product. If we at Dell had wished to change the default device stanzas for any of our products they would have been done when the product and/or feature is released. Please remove this patch as well. It is not needed. Regards, Wayne.

Thanks Martin. I'm still researching this vast company for the product teams responsible Compellent and PowerVault to be sure they are okay with the changes. We should hold off on those as well until I can get confirmation. Regards, Wayne.
