Preface
Supported hardware
and software
This document is specific to Fabric OS v5.1 running on the following
EMC Connectrix B product models:
◆ DS-8B3 switch
◆ DS-16B3 switch
◆ DS-32B2 switch
◆ DS-4100B switch
◆ DS-4900B switch
◆ DS-220B switch
◆ ED-24000B director
◆ ED-48000B director
In those instances in which procedures or parts of procedures
documented here apply to some switches but not to others, this guide
identifies which switches are supported and which are not.
This document sometimes mentions other Fabric OS releases to
highlight the changes in the latest release or to point out
interoperability issues with other Connectrix B models. It also
specifies when procedures or steps of procedures apply only to
specific Connectrix B models.
Although many different software and hardware configurations are
tested and supported by EMC, for this Fabric OS release,
documenting all possible configurations and scenarios is beyond the
scope of this document.
Support clarification EMC may not support all of the functionality of the FOS 5.1 or the
operating environment. References in this document to specific
configurations, functionality, and capabilities of FOS OS 5.1 should
not be interpreted to imply that EMC endorses or will support them.
The only configurations, features, and functionality that EMC will
support are documented in the EMC Support Matrix (ESM) and the
EMC Networked Storage Topology Guide.
At the time of publication, the following configurations, functionality,
and capabilities of the FOS OS 5.1 are not supported by EMC:
◆ Customer download of firmware for EMC-supported switches or
HBAs
◆ Third-party storage service applications
◆ Secure Fabric OS
◆ QuickLoop
◆ Fabric Assist
◆ Remote Switch
◆ NPIV(N-Port ID Virtualization)
