What’s New

Operating System and Fibre Channel Switch Support

Support has been added for newer operating systems and switch firmware. Table 1 lists the minimum hardware and software versions of items supported by those operating systems compatible with Data Replication Manager running ACS v8.7P and subsequent updates. Operating systems are listed by vendor in the left column. Each item in the same row, and listed to the right, is supported by that operating system.

To use this table, select an operating system and operating system version, then move to the right and select a Fibre Channel Adapter (FCA). Supported FCA firmware is located further to the right, followed by the driver and Secure Path versions for the FCA. In the last column is a brief statement about cluster support for that operating system and version.

Table 2 lists supported switches for the HSG80 controller with their approved version of firmware when used for DRM. Be aware that a 2 Gb/sec switch is constrained by the HSG80 controller to 1 Gb/sec.
