This document describes the supported configurations for the EMC CLARiiON Fibre Channel disk-array
storage-systems. It lists general configuration rules for storage area network storage (SAN), direct attached storage
(DAS), hub attached storage, clustered servers, non-disruptive software installation (NDU), EMC PowerPath,
CLARiiON Driver Extensions (CDE) and Application-Transparent Failover (ATF), Access Logix, SnapView, and
MirrorView. For each supported operating system, it describes the valid server-to-storage system configurations. The
descriptions reference sample configuration diagrams at the end of the guide. Accompanying each diagram is a table
that lists the supported operating systems, storage systems, and server and storage-system software requirements. The
operating systems and storage systems shown in the diagrams are representative only.
This document also describes the supported backup configurations for EMC CLARiiON Fibre Channel disk-array
storage-systems.

Changes with This Revision
IMPORTANT:
To avoid confusion between
PowerPath Base
(the new version of PowerPath) and
PowerPath Basic
(the
term used to refer to the PowerPath functionality that ships with the CLARiiON server utility kits), we use the term
Utility Kit PowerPath
instead of
PowerPath Basic
. For more information on PowerPath Base and Utility Kit PowerPath,
see
Failover Configuration Rules
(page 15).
•
Adds PowerPath Base to places in the following sections from which it was missing
-
Path Rules
(page 11)
-
NetWare Configurations
(page 54)
-
Windows 2000 Configurations
(page 73)
-
Sample Configuration Diagrams
(page 88)
•
Adds support for Linux PowerPath and Linux PowerPath Base
without
an RPQ and for Utility Kit PowerPath
to the
- Path Rules
(page 11)
- Failover Configuration Rules
(page 15)
-
Linux Configurations (
page 46
)
-
Sample Configuration Diagrams
(page 88)
Note that PowerPath for Linux is currently only supported on non-clustered servers.
•
Deletes lack of SP failover or non-disruptive software installation (NDU) for NetWare with ATF or CDE from
-
Non-Disruptive Software Installation (NDU) Configuration Rules
(page 16)
-
NetWare Configurations
(page 54)
-
Sample Configuration Diagrams
(page 88)
Note: NDU is supported for NetWare CDE and ATF with currently shipping revisions of HBA drivers.
•
Adds a
QuickLoop
section (page 22) to the
DS-xxB Series Switches
section.
•
Adds Netware Cluster Service support for the CX200 in direct connect configurations to the
-
NetWare Direct Connections
table (page 59)
-
Dual Server Direct - Dual HBA Ports /Dual Ports Per SP (CX200, CX400, CX600, FC4500, FC4700, FC5300)
configuration drawing (page 114)
1.
CX200 storage systems available from selected channels only.
2.
FC4700 refers to both the FC4700 and FC4700-2 models everywhere except in
Port Speed Rules
section and the
Backup
Configurations (CX200, CX400, CX600, FC4500, FC4700, FC5300, FC5700)
section.
3.
