Host Servers/ Adapters: All host systems are supported where the host vendor allows the host/OS/adapter combination. All Fibre Channel HBAs branded as Emulex, QLogic or Broadcom with line speeds 8 Gb/s, 16
Gb/s or 32 Gb/s, including vendor rebranded versions of the same are supported. AIX and HP-UX vendor branded HBAs, also support the 4Gb/s FC link speed. 10 Gb/s Cisco, Emulex and QLogic CNAs (10GbE,
iSCSI, FCoE via FC-gateway), including vendor rebranded versions of the same are supported. 10 Gb/s NICs for iSCSI connectivity as supported by the server and OS vendor are supported.
Following allowances for Firmware/BIOS, Drivers, and for specific Platforms: Any Dell EMC or vendor-supplied firmware/BIOS that meets the ESM minimum version for specified OS platform are allowed (Newer
versions of the Firmware/BIOS higher than the minimum version are allowed). For Solaris, HP-UX and AIX platforms, Dell EMC only supports the Driver/Firmware/BIOS versions supplied by the OS Vendor. For CNA
(HBA) drivers refer to ELN, https://elabnavigator.emc.com, for supported versions. For Linux Drivers not listed in the ESM refer to the ‘Linux Out of Kernel Drivers Support (LoS)’. If systems meet these criteria, no
further ELN connectivity validation or RPQ is required.

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 https://elabnavigator.emc.com, 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 https://elabnavigator.emc.com, for implementation information.

Note: See Table 2 for notes for VPLEX 6.x for supported Operating Systems, Cluster Software and Path Management Software versions.

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. For more detailed information, refer to the Advanced
Query section on the ELN home page at https://elabnavigator.emc.com.

by another footnote. Contact the server vendor for the update level required for a
specific server.
Starting from VPLEX 6.0 SP1 P4 (VS2/VS6) Unity, VNX, XtremIO, XtremIO X2 and
VMAX arrays Thin volumes and VAAI UNMAP support was added. Operating system
ESXi 5.5 and later is required. This allows thin volumes for VPLEX Local and Metro,
distributed, and mirrored volumes.
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# 2144657
(http://kb.vmware.com/kb/2144657). Since PowerPath/VE is not using VMware
NMP, it is not affected by this issue.

8841 : The posted limit for fan out is based on the architectural supported limit. If there are more than 128 active physical initiators involved for 8 Gbps FC
SLIC (P/N 303-092-102B) or if there are more than 64 active physical initiators involved for 16 Gbps FC SLIC (P/N 303-251-101), an RPQ is required.
8915 : Max iSCSI Initiator count per port is 256, except VMware
9368 : Direct attachments with VMAX 400K, VMAX 200K and VMAX 100K and all the VMAX All Flash Array models are restricted to the FC IO module P/N
303-092-102 and is supported with only FC-AL topology, PtP direct attachments are not supported
9383 : Boot from SAN is not supported with XtremIO 3.0 on Linux. Please submit an RPQ for boot from SAN review/approval

speeds only
10579 : For the FCoE protocol, only HW FCoE is supported.
10596 : VIAS is supported.
10597 : VIAS feature support for VMAX requires SMI-S and Solutions Enabler versions as per the VMAX ESSM.

available. Upgrade to vSphere 6.0 update 2 (and later), that includes a fix for this issue. The update is available at VMware Downloads. For further details,
refer to VMware KB article# 2144657 (http://kb.vmware.com/kb/ 2144657). Since PowerPath/VE is not using VMware NMP, it is not affected by this issue.
