EMC policies and requirements for open system support


Purpose and limitations of this documentThis document is for informational purposes only and may change at any time. This version supersedes and replaces all previous versions. The information included in this document is to serve only as a guide for those configurations/products that EMC® has qualified. This document identifies and lists various vendor host systems and integral components that have been tested and qualified by EMC for use with EMC products. Vendor components include, but are not limited to, host operating systems, HBAs (host bus adapters) and associated drivers, firmware and BIOS, Fibre Channel switches, hubs and bridges. This document may also list various vendors, cluster software, tape hardware, storage-system boot procedures, heterogeneous information storage, and configurations that EMC has tested and/or qualified for use with EMC products.

The information included in this document is intended as a guide to configuring systems for EMCÊs products. It is not intended to be the sole resource for system configuration. For more information or answers to questions not found in this document, refer to EMCÊs website, other EMC documentation (such as EMCÊs host connectivity guides, EMC Networked Storage Topology Guide, EMC CLARiiON Open Systems Configuration Guide, and so on), relevant vendor documentation, or contact your EMC Sales or EMC Customer Support representative.

Policies for qualifying systemsPolicies and procedures for support of EMC products are set forth in the customer's applicable agreements. EMC's publication of information relating to system configurations covers only those outlined in this document or by approval from EMC Engineering. Other system configurations not found in this document are not qualified without EMC Engineering approval. EMC has qualified hardware and software provided only by the vendors listed in this document, and host systems, hardware and software from other vendors are not qualified, and may never be. Contact your EMC Sales or EMC Customer Support representative for updates or information not included in this document.

EMC maintains a large collection of products as well as third-party application software for qualification with EMCÊs storage systems and to simulate customer environments. You must consult the vendors for information about their system internals, such as hardware, associated drivers, and product requirements.

Policy for future qualification of operating system software releases

The information in this document is maintained by EMC, and EMC strives to update this document with new releases of hardware, operating systems, firmware, BIOS, switch software, and so on, as they become available from the vendors. EMC works with the vendors during their development and release processes in order to be fully informed at the time the vendors release new versions. EMC announces qualification after the vendorsÊ General Availability (GA). In some cases, EMC may choose to perform regression testing following the vendorsÊ GA; in these cases and in cases where advance preparation is not

EMC AutoStart Compatibility Guide


possible, EMC may test and qualify vendorsÊ products as appropriate after they have been released. For early support of such products, including vendor beta participation, contact your EMC Sales or EMC Customer Support representative.

Policy for end-of-life supportEMC strives to continue support for any installed platforms, but may remove support from this host matrix for new installations within three months after the vendor has announced that this platform has reached the end of life. EMC will continue support for existing installations of hardware, operating systems, and components that the vendor has officially declared to have reached end of life as long as support is available from the vendor.

End of Support NoticeEMC announces that AutoStart 5.4.0 will be the last release to support the following configurations:

◆ Windows IA 64

◆ Windows 2003 Server

◆ HP PA-RISC hardware

◆ VMware ESX 3.x,

◆ Red Hat Linux 4.x and SUSE Linux 9.x

◆ Oracle 9.x, 10g, 10g R2

◆ HP-UX 11i v1, v2

◆ Direct upgrade from AutoStart 5.2
