HP StoreOnce and StoreEver Enterprise Backup Solutions (EBS) Hardware/Software Compatibility Matrix
The HP StoreOnce and StoreEver Enterprise Backup Solutions (EBS) Hardware/Software Compatibility Matrix provides information for designing data protection solutions, including backup/restore and archiving, that scale from entry-level workgroups to enterprise-level data centers. It includes support for Direct Attach SCSI (DAS), Direct Attach Fibre (DAF), and Storage Area Network (SAN). It does not imply product availability. Updates/changes to individual fields within the Matrix will be highlighted in bold RED. Products high ighted in yell will be removed from the EBS Compatibility Matrix in the next release. Previous versions of the EBS Compatibility Matrix are available on the web at www.hp.com/go/ebs.
_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ IMPORTANT USAGE NOTES: 1. Please consult the ISV / IHV product compatibility guide(s) for additional support details such as product version information, driver details,
firmware revisions, patch levels, etc. 2. Due to differences in support, it is highly recommended that you verify which servers and OS’s are supported
by your HBA or controller by referring to the QuickSpecs at: http://h18004.www1.hp.com/products/servers/platforms/storage.html. 3. As a best practice, storage platforms should always run active firmware and software versions. Systems running inactive firmware or software versions face an increased risk from exposure to known (and unknown) issues. If a system running inactive firmware or software encounters an issue, HP Services will work with you to upgrade to an active version. 4. Additional technical information, guidelines and rules can be found in the Enterprise Backup Solution Design Guide and various Backup Application
Implementation Guides located on the web at www.hp.com/go/ebs. 5. This document shows compatibility for SAN media servers. A SAN media server is defined as a server with direct access to backup devices.
Other operating systems may be supported within EBS by the respective ISVs as LAN clients, where a LAN client does not have direct access to the backup device but is backed up over a LAN connection to a server with direct access to backup devices
6. For information on stand-alone tape products and compatibility, go to spock.corp.hp.com. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Definitions:
Extended Solution Interoperability (ESI): HP performs on-going interoperability and extensive solution testing with these applications to provide fully certified and supported data protection solutions that include HP tape libraries, autoloaders, disk backup systems, and virtual library systems. Extensive solution details including operating system details, host bus adapter and driver information, SAN infrastructure, and extended tape library feature support can be found throughout this document. Tape Automation Compatibility (TAC): These products are verified for compatibility with HP tape libraries, autoloaders, disk backup systems, and virtual library systems.

2) Supported with a patch from TSM. transparent to the ISV software. Its use with all ISV software in the EBS matrix has been verified, and is fully supported.
3) ARCserve TestFix T146567 required. 7) Supported by using partitions. See details in the AMP whitepaper on hp.com
4) ESKM & SKM provide encryption keys to supported HP tape drives in HP Enterprise Class tape libraries 8) Failover behavior may vary based on configuration. See details in the Using Data Path Failover and Control Path Failover whitepaper
transparent to the ISV software. Use with all ISV software in the EBS matrix has been verified, and is fully supported.
5) The first time you install the Extender you must update the firmware in each Library individually. For future firmware
updates you can update both Libraries at the same time with the Extender Firmware Package.
