Quick update before I head out of town for the weekend. I PASSED! (This was the written for those that are wondering.)
I have to take the lab next and that isnt going to happen for at least another few months. I will keep you all posted. As far as the exam details, which I am not allowed to discuss to any detail, let's just say there is a very good reason there is only 6 or 7 Storage Network CCIE's in the world.
Congrats on the written portion. Hopefully you can pass the lab on the first try, though I hear that the chances of that happening are - on average - quite low. Expensive, but the money you'll be making later makes it worth it.
