EMC's Policies and Requirements for EMC Support Matrix
EMC's Support Matrix Policies and Requirements
This section describes EMC's policies and requirements for the EMC Support Matrix document.
Purpose and Limitations of this Document
This document is being provided for informational purposes only and may change at any time. This version supersedes and replaces all previous versions. Theinformation is to serve only as a guide for those configurations/products that EMC has qualified. The information in this document is a subset of the informationthat can be found on the E-Lab Interoperability Navigator tool which is available for all EMC personnel, customers and partners. The E-Lab InteroperabilityNavigator site may be reached at http://elabnavigator.emc.com.
The information included in this document is intended as a guide in the configuration of systems for EMC's products. It is not intended to be the sole resourcefor system configuration. For more information or answers to questions not found in this document, please see EMC's website, other EMC documentation,relevant vendor documentation, or contact your EMC Sales or EMC Customer Service representative.For a complete listing of any known issues with the current support matrix content, please review the ESM Errata on E-Lab Interoperability Navigator. To reportany issues with the content contained within the support matrix, follow the steps documented on the Contacts link on E-Lab Interoperability Navigator. E-LabInteroperability Navigator can be reached at http://elabnavigator.emc.com.
Policies for Qualifying Systems
Policies and procedures for support of EMC products are set forth in the customer's applicable agreements. EMC's publication of information relating to systemconfigurations covers only those outlined in this document or by approval from EMC Engineering. Other system configurations not found in this document arenot qualified without EMC Engineering approval. EMC has qualified hardware and software provided only by the vendors listed in this document, and hostsystems, hardware and software from other vendors are not qualified, and may never be. Please contact your EMC Sales or EMC Customer Servicerepresentative for updates or information not included in this document.
EMC maintains a large collection of the products listed above as well as third-party application software for qualification with EMC's storage systems and tosimulate customer environments, but you must consult the vendors for information about their system internals, such as hardware and associated drivers.
Policy for Future Qualification of Operating System Software Releases
The information in this document is maintained by EMC and EMC strives to update this document with new releases of hardware, operating systems, firmware,BIOS, switch software, etc., as they become available from the vendors. EMC works with the vendors during their development and release processes in orderto be fully informed at the time the vendors release new versions. EMC does not announce qualification prior to vendors' General Availability. In some cases,EMC may choose to perform regression testing following the vendors' GA; in these cases and in cases where advance preparation is not possible, EMC mayvalidate and qualify vendors' products as appropriate after they have been released. For early support of such products, including vendor beta participation,contact your EMC Sales or EMC Customer Service representative.
Policy for End-of-Life Support
EMC strives to continue support for any installed platforms, but may remove support from this host matrix for new installations within three months after thevendor has announced that this platform has reached the end of life. EMC will continue support for existing installations of hardware, operating systems, andcomponents that the vendor has officially declared to have reached end of life as long as support is available from the vendor. For the full list of EMC productend of life and end of support, please see the "Release and End of Life Dates" pages on the Support section of Powerlink.
07/01/2012 1 EMC's Policies and Requirements for EMC Support Matrix
Storage ArrayBase ConnectivityConfiguration Notes
Starting with Symmetrix VMAX, Unified and CLARiiON CX4, minimum link speed supported for Fibre Channel direct connection is 2Gb/s.
EMC supports Symmetrix and CLARiiON configured as a boot device for the servers where listed below, provided that these requirements are followed. Thiswill ensure the best possible response times for boot/root/swap volumes.
EMC recommends shutting down the host server during maintenance procedures that could cause the boot disk to become unavailable to the host. If thepaging file is unavailable to the operating system, a crash can occur. EMC supports online microcode upgrades for Windows systems booting from Symmetrixand non-disruptive upgrades (NDU) for Windows systems booting from CLARiiON arrays. Refer to the specific OS Host Connectivity Guide for best practices.
Any issues that arise when trying to use the boot LUN on a host that is not identical to the source host is outside the scope of what EMC can support. In caseof environment failure where I/O is not written back to the source LUN, or if the source LUN is not left in a stable state by the source host, the source LUN, orany replicated LUN of the source, is not guaranteed to be usable.

WAN Optimization ControllersConfiguration Notes
Most devices in the IP cloud that follow IEEE standards may be used for LAN/MAN/WAN connectivity within EMC replication networks. WAN optimizationcontrollers, however, must be explicitly listed as supported in the EMC Support Matrix table below if used in EMC replication networks. WAN optimizationcontrollers are devices that employ protocol optimization techniques with the TCP/IP protocol to improve latency and performance over IP networks.
All EMC replication solutions over IP networks must also be validated using the Solution Qualifier (SQ) process and must undergo a Network Assessment.
EDL/CDL, Centera Replicator and Open Replicator are not currently supported by EMC for use with WAN optimization controllers. For these and any otherapplications not referenced by this EMC Support Matrix table, support is the responsibility of the customer and WAN optimization controller vendor.
All EMC replication solutions over IP networks must also be validated using the Solution Qualifier (SQ) process.
