Planned Future Enhancements

Additional Linux HBA choices and Windows Server 200x Meta data Controller

7.Expand RHEL/SLES connectivity choices (Planned)

a.Add ATTO HBA‟s for either MDC‟s and/or clients using RDAC MPP

i.This step is not tied to any other steps and may occur at any time after step 3

b.Add ATTO HBA‟s for either MDC‟s and/or clients using ATTO multipathing driver

i.This step is not tied to any other steps and may occur at any time after step 3

8.Add Windows Server 200x as either StorNext clients or as StorNext MDC‟s (Planned)

a.Windows client Server 200x

i.Using previously supported QLogic and/or Emulex HBA‟s

ii.Using ATTO HBA‟s with either RDAC MPP or ATTO multipathing driver

b.We will NOT add this until AFTER the Windows Clients (XP, Vista, Windows 7) are added to reduce confusion
