Sometimes referred to as Solaris Zones.

Clustering

Clustering technologies, both active-active and active-passive

 

Clusters are listed as Related Hosts in reports. This relationship is established when multiple servers are accessing the same storage.

File Systems

  • Solaris ZFS; Solaris Volume Manager (SVM) Metastat

  • AIX 5.2, 5.3 JFS and JFS2, with correlation to SAN disks

  • SUSE SLES 9, 10; 32 & 64 bit REISER FS & EXT3 & Logical Volume Manager (LVM & LVM2)

  • VxFS on all supported Operating Systems

  • Windows NTFS

  • Oracle ASM

  • Linux ext4 file systems

  

Multi-pathing

  • EMC PowerPath

  • Hitachi Dynamic Link Manager (HDLM)

  • VERITAS Dynamic Multi-Pathing (VxDMP)

  • Device Mapper Multipath for Linux

  • Microsoft MPIO - Windows 2003, 2008 (R2), Windows 2012 (R2) drivers

 

If using a non-supported MPIO driver, storage capacity may be double-counted in capacity reports.

Operating Systems

  • RedHat Linux Enterprise Server, CentOS, SUSE

  • Solaris

  • Windows Server

  • IBM AIX

 

In general, these operating systems up to and including the latest OS patch level are supported.

  • AIX Logical Volume Manager

 

Besides Veritas Volume Manager, each of the operating systems comes with its own built-in logical volume manager, so no specific version numbers are mentioned
