Hardware and Software Support – The LSI Logic 2 Gbit/s family of FC host adapter supports most major software operating systems, such as Sun Solaris (2.6 and greater), Windows Server (NT 4.0, 2000, XP, 2003), Linux (RedHat, Suse, Caldera, Turbo), NetWare, and UnixWare. These host adapters use the Fusion-MPT architecture for all major operating systems. Fusion-MPT architecture offers the unique feature of having a single binary operating system driver that supports FC devices and other bus architectures. Refer to the Fusion-MPT Device Management User’s Guide for details regarding software support for this family of host adapters.

Before you use any of this family of host adapters, make sure your system meets the specific hardware and software requirements shown in Table 2.2.
