John and Ramy,

Thanks for the feedback.  So, we will create an IBM Storage CI Check 
account and slowly deprecate the multiple accounts as we consolidate the 
hardware.

HP, EMC and NetApp all appear to be pretty clear examples of how to go about doing this.  My personal preference on this has always been a single CI account anyway with the different drivers consolidated under it; if nothing else it reduces clutter in the review posting and makes it "easier" to find what you might be looking for.
