Dell™ PowerVault™ TL2000|TL4000 iSCSI Support Matrix August '08 A00 Supported iSCSI Initiators Supported iSCSI Initiators (Only Software Initiators are supported) • Microsoft iSCSI Initiator 2.06 (available fromwww.microsoft.com) • Microsoft Windows Server 2008 - iSCSI Initiator shipment version • VMware ESX Server 3.5 and VMware ESX Server 3i version 3.5 iSCSI Initiator • Red Hat Enterprise Linux V4.0 with Update 4, Update 5 (AS, ES, WS), 32 bit and 64 bit (2.6 kernel) shipping version iscsi_sfnet-4.0.1.11.3e-1dkms.noarch.rpm • Red Hat Enterprise Linux V5.0 and V5.0 with Update 1 (AS, ES, WS), 32 bit and 64 bit (2.6 kernel) shipping version • SUSE Linux Enterprise Server V10.0 Service Pack 1 with Intel EM64T (2.6 kernel) shipment version • SUSE Linux Enterprise Server V9.0 service pack 3 with Intel® EM64T (2.6 kernel) scsi_mod-sles9sp31dkms.noarch.rpm, iscsi-88.31.2_sles9sp3-1dkms.noarch.rpm Supported Network Components Ethernet Controllers Any industry standard 10/100/1000 Ethernet controller which conforms to IEEE 802.3ab, 802.3ac, or 802.3u should interoperate with the TL2000\TL4000 iSCSI Bridge. To maximize available bandwidth to the TL2000\TL4000 iSCSI controller, 1000 Mb/s controllers for I/O paths and 100 Mb/s controllers for out-of-band management paths are highly recommended. Ensure your host server has the latest driver for the network device and is set up according to the iSCSI bridge requirements to ensure proper performance. Review your network device documentation Ethernet Switches Any industry standard 100/1000 managed or unmanaged Ethernet switch should interoperate with the TL2000\TL4000 iSCSI controller. To maximize available bandwidth to the TL2000\TL4000 iSCSI controller, 1000 Mb/s switches for I/O paths and 100 Mb/s switches for out-of-band management paths are recommended Dell PowerConnect 2216 Dell PowerConnect 2224 Dell PowerConnect 2324 Dell PowerConnect 2708 Dell PowerConnect 2716 Dell PowerConnect 2724 Dell PowerConnect 3424 Dell PowerConnect 3424P Dell PowerConnect 3448 Dell PowerConnect 3448P Dell PowerConnect 5324 Dell PowerConnect 6024 Dell PowerConnect 6224 Dell PowerConnect 6248 Host Server Support The TL2000\TL4000 ISCSI Bridge should interoperate with any industry standard servers. For non-Dell servers to connect to the TL2000\TL4000 iSCSI bridge they must be running a supported iSCSI initiator, operating system, and network components Dell servers successfully tested with the TL2000\TL4000 iSCSI controller Server PowerEdge™ 860 PowerEdge 1800 PowerEdge 1850 PowerEdge 1855
