EMC VPLEX-GeoSynchrony v5.5

Transcription

1 EMC VPLEX-GeoSynchrony v5.5 Dell EMC Simple Support Matrix January 13, 2017 Copyright EMC Corporation. All Rights Reserved. Components for EMC VPLEX-GeoSynchrony v5.5 Series Host Servers/ Adapters: All Fibre Channel HBAs from Emulex and QLogic (2 Gb/s or greater) and Brocade (8 Gb/s or greater), including vendor rebranded versions. Solaris requires an RPQ when using any Brocade HBA. All 10 Gb/s Emulex, Qlogic, Dell based on Qlogic BCM 578xx, Brocade, Cisco, and Intel CNAs (10GbE NICs that support FcoE). Any EMC or vendor-supplied OS-approved driver/firmware/bios is allowed. EMC recommends using latest E-Lab Navigator listed driver/firmware/bios versions. Refer to the ESM, located at and use EMC VMAX or EMC VNX, along with the desired HBA model and operating system, as the search criteria to find the latest supported driver/firmware/bios versions. Adapters must support link speed compatible with switch (fabric) or array (direct connect). All host systems are supported where the host and OS vendors allow the host/os/adapter combination. If systems meet the criteria in this ESSM, and the ELN connectivity validations in referenced footnotes are adhered to, then no RPQ is required. VPLEX does not support host direct connections and requires HBAs to be connected to supported fabric switches. Host and VPLEX Backend Connectivity Switches: All FC SAN switches (2 Gb/s or greater) from EMC Connectrix ;, Brocade, Cisco, and QLogic Refer to the E-Lab Navigator (ELN) at Switched Fabric Topology Parameters table for switch interoperability support. All EMC-approved 10 GbE FCoE switches from Brocade and Cisco for host connectivity only. Only Cisco FCoE switches can be used to connect VPLEX backend storage arrays connections. Refer to the ELN for specific models and firmware support. Refer to the Networking for Storage Virtualization and EMC RecoverPoint TechBook, located at for implementation information. Note: See Table 2 for historical notes for VPLEX 5.5 valid through March Notes pertaining to new data in Table 1 will show as footer notes in that table. Note: See Table 3 for components information and Table 4 for Third-Party Arrays. Note: See Table 5 for a list of backend EMC storage arrays that can attach to VPLEX. Note: The information in this ESSM is a configuration summary. The versions listed in the columns represent versions that work with the listed Platform/Operating Systems and Storage Array. Versions listed in the columns for each specific Platform/Operation System may not be interoperable. Refer to to find specific interop information between Cluster Software, Volume Manager and Multipathing Software versions.

Standard file systems available with each platform that is supported can be found in the appropriate Host Connectivity Guide, located at VPLEX supports booting from local volumes except for zlinux. Boot from distributed volumes is not supported on OVM, zlinux, or Solaris 11 SPARC. EMC PowerPath Encryption is supported with VPLEX Version and kernel specific.

8 VMware ESX/ESXi Family VPLEX VASA 1.0 Provider supports ESXi only. VASA 1.0 is no longer supported by VPLEX and later. Windows clusters running as a guest OS in a VMware environment on RDM devices with MPIO is not supported. VMware (ESX/ESXi) servers hosting the cluster node VMs must have PowerPath/VE installed. All released updates of VMware ESX/ESXi versions are supported unless specified by another footnote. Contact the server vendor for the update level required for a specific server. ESXi 5.5 and later for XtremIO arrays only, thin volumes and VAAI UNMAP support requires VPLEX 5.5 SP1. This allows thin volumes for VPLEX Local. Support for distributed, mirrored volumes and VPLEX Metro is available with VPLEX 5.5 SP2 and later. VMware Virtual Volumes (VVOLs) are not supported VMware identified a problem with native multipathing (NMP) in ESXi 6.0 where failover may not be triggered when other paths to the LUN are available. A fix for this issue is available in vsphere 6.0 update 2 and later, available at VMware Downloads. For further details, refer to VMware KB article# ( Since PowerPath/VE is not using VMware NMP, it is not affected by this issue.
