¹ See the Sun System Handbook for minimum supported Solaris Operating System versions, HBAs and other supported options for list servers.

² PCI configs only

³ SAN 4.4.13 and later are supported on Solaris 9 only.

⁴ For the latest Brocade, McData, Qlogic and Sun switch offerings: http://www.sun.com/storagetek/networking.jsp

⁵ SC 3.2 and later Solaris support: NetApp does not support Solaris 9.
SC 3.2 and later support: Solaris 10 11/06 + patches, Solaris 10 8/07, and Solaris 10 5/08. (Please see SunSolve Document id: 237505 when installing Solaris 10 5/08).
Also requires the following Sun Cluster Patches and higher, available on SunSolve.
Solaris 10 Sparc: 126106-01
Solaris 10 x86: 126107-01
IF using VxVM, SC 3.2 requires VxVM 5.0 MP1/RP3, download Patch 122058-09 available on SunSolve.

⁸ For supported Data ONTAP and switch versions, please see the NetApp FCP Host Compatibility Matrix (Solaris) at http://now.netapp.com/NOW/knowledge/docs/san/fcp_iscsi_config/index.shtml

⁹ Solaris 10 supported patch level for Sun Cluster 3.1 is 120500-08 or lower.

¹⁰ When Data ONTAP 7.2.1 and 7.2.2 is installed, FAS arrays are 'only' supported in greater than (2) node configurations with Sun Cluster 3.1.
For more information, please go to: http://now.netapp.com/NOW/cgi-bin/bol?Type=Detail&Display=236149

¹¹ "Native" HBAs now supported by Solaris: http://www.sun.com/io_technologies/index.html

¹² When enabling Solaris Cluster version 3.1 8/2005 (Update 4) on a device which supports ALUA and uses RTPG (Report Target Port Group) commands, SCSI-2 Reserve/Release does not function properly and is not supported. Outcome is that Quorum is inaccessible to the Cluster. Recommendation is to enable (2) node PGR-3 enabled with Solaris Cluster 3.2.

¹³ NetApp recommends upgrading the Emulex driver to 2.30j. Please go to SunSolve for required patch ID: 120222-27.

¹⁴ M3000 is supported with Solaris 10 5/08 and upgrading the Emulex driver to 2.30j. Please go to SunSolve for required patch ID: 120222-27.
