[1] Hyper-V is supported with NetApp LUNs but NetApp CIFS is not supported.
[2] The NetApp SnapMirror replication technology is supported with Async mode only.
[3] NFS, FC LUN, and iSCSI storage exported from NetApp arrays are supported.
[4] The EMC SRDF replication technology is supported with Sync and Async modes.
[5] Only non-shared RDM is supported for HPE 3PAR Remote Copy.
[6] The HPE 3PAR Remote Copy replication technology is supported only in periodic mode with the mirror_config policy.
[7] VPLEX storage is not supported for EMC RecoverPoint.
[8] Only continuous remote replication (CRR) is supported for EMC RecoverPoint. Continuous data protection (CDP) and concurrent local and remote (CLR) replication are not supported.
[9] Minimum Powershell version supported on Hyper-V Servers is 3.0.
[10] Microsoft Failover Cluster (MSFoC) environment is supported.
[11] VMware HA is supported.
[12] Combination of storage from multiple array technologies in a single resiliency group is not supported.
[13] Combination of replicated and non-replicated storage to virtual machines is not supported.
[14] Raw device mapping (RDM) mapped replicated LUNs are not supported for Hyper-V virtual machine disaster recovery.
[15] IPv6 network is supported for configuration of 3PAR, RecoverPoint, and NetApp SnapMirror enclosures.
[16] Metro Mirror is not supported.
[17] File systems as replica datasets are not supported with Hyper-V server.
[18] From version 3.6 onwards, secure communication is supported for configuration of 3PAR, RecoverPoint, IBM SVC enclosures.
[19] For RHEL, previous minor versions may work with the current released version of Resiliency Platform but not specifically tested or qualified, as those minor versions are out of ELS with Red Hat. It is recommended to upgrade to ELS supported versions.
