Hi James, this is a great series of tutorial. Thank you so much. Just ask if there is part 5 or not. I want to watch how to setup the physical SAN devices. Thanks

Part 4 includes Part 5 from what I can tell on the agenda slide.  Nothing was skipped.. Great vids BTW!

Great videos James. Can I ask the reason for why you don't enter the default gateway when configuring the management for the controllers?

Hello Mr. Sillett,

Just wanted to let you know that I find these videos quite useful. However, I do have some questions for you:

1) Missing videos.. some of Part 3 & all of Part 5
2) You never quite went into detail about what a LUN is and what a Datastore is
3) How many users should be on each LUN/Datastore (I'm sorry if I missed the general idea, but you seemed to be using the terms interchangeably, and it seems that it should be introductory information from what I've seen)
4) Implementing/using "Access Control Lists" (ACL's): should I be concerned about multiple users overwriting the same data? It seems to be the opinions of some that this is a big concern and from what I've seen so far, this issue has not been touched upon.

Much appreciated,
Ian
