• All hardware configurations listed have been qualified with the following products: Veritas InfoScale Foundation, Availability, Storage and Enterprise for Windows, Storage Foundation for Windows, Dynamic Multi-Pathing for Windows, and Storage Foundation and High Availability Solutions for Windows (SFW plus Cluster Server for Windows). The following options are also supported by this HCL list: Volume Replicator Option, FlashSnap Option, Dynamic Multi-pathing (DMP), Cluster Option for Microsoft Failover Cluster (FOC).
• Configurations using any multi-pathing software (Storage Foundation for Windows - Dynamic Multi-pathing (DMP) or third-party) are restricted to the Veritas HCL list. This includes DMP implementations based upon Veritas MPIO Device Specific Modules (DSMs). For third party multi-pathing products only the versions listed on the HCL are fully tested and supported. The supported hardware list has been specifically qualified and approved by the Veritas Compatibility Lab. Hardware that does not appear on this list is not supported when used with DMP or any 3rd-party multi-pathing solution. Employing a multi-pathing solution with Storage Foundation for Windows on non-certified hardware can result in unpredictable and possibly data-threatening behavior. Certified hardware is selected by Veritas Product Management, based on market research and input from the field, including customer feedback. If a customer would like to have their hardware considered for inclusion on this HCL, simply submit your request to your Veritas Sales Representative.
• Configurations should follow storage configuration best practices set forth by the hardware manufacturer in addition to those provided by Veritas. Veritas provided storage configuration best practices for zoning in a Storage Foundation for Windows environment are at TechNote 54713.
• Arrays listed in the HCL are also supported with the Microsoft DSM (MSDSM) in configurations where it coexists with Storage Foundation for Windows, as long as the array satisfies Microsoft's requirements for support, including being supported for use with MSDSM by the array vendors.
