Preventive Service Planning
Abstract
The documents titled Supported Hardware List and Recommended Software Levels provide the operating systems, host adapters, SAN fabric elements, RAID controllers and selected other hardware that have been tested or qualified by IBM.
For operating systems, we show the latest tested release levels and service packs. Only the listed operating systems are supported. For host adapters, SAN fabric elements and RAID controllers, we list our currently recommended firmware and/or BIOS levels and formally support only the hardware listed.
While these levels are not mandatory levels for a customer to be supported by IBM, they are the recommended levels. There may be known operational issues with older firmware and BIOS levels and, in these cases, a customer working with the IBM Support Centre may be directed to upgrade a component to a recommended level.
SVC will support all OS applications at any level that run to the standard block level OS interface. This includes such applications as Oracle, HP Virtual Connect, etc.
Note:
* The levels shown in italic text indicate previously recommended levels.
* The level shown in bold text indicates the latest recommended level.
Content
Whilst IBM recommends these levels based upon the most recent testing,
the following levels were tested against previous versions of SVC and IBM
will support the use of these levels with SVC V5.1.x.
V4.3.x - Recommended Software Levels for SAN Volume Controller
V4.2.x - Recommended Software Levels for SAN Volume Controller
V4.1.x - Recommended Software Levels for SAN Volume Controller
V3.1.0 - Recommended Software Levels for SAN Volume Controller
V2.1.0 - Recommended Software Levels for SAN Volume Controller

In order to use the same domain name, manual link to the new disk (ln -s /dev/disk/dskNc) has to be created in the /etc/fdmns/domain_name directory |
