1. Powerpath iSCSI 1.1 is supported with Windows 2003 operating systems.
2. Microsoft Dynamic Disks are not supported.
3. Powerpath 4.3.1 or higher is supported. All paths may be on a single subnet, or multiple subnets may be used.
4. Clustered hosts may access shared Symmetrix LUNs via iSCSI or Fibre Channel (iSCSI on one node, Fibre Channel on another.)
5. QLA4010 iSCSI boards booting from external storage require "Spanning Tree" features to be disabled on network switches used in the boot path.
6. Microsoft Initiator software version 2.0 and later automatically forces IQN's to lower−case. This may require array−side host access reconfiguration.
7. SPC−2 flag must be enabled for iSCSI Symmetrix configurations.
8. Configuration utility for QLogic iSCSI HBAs is QLogic SANsurfer available at http://www.qlogic.com
9. QLogic iSCSI HBAs require the Microsoft iSCSI Software Initiator Service to be installed. The Service is required by Microsoft and is different from the full Microsoft iSCSI Software
Initiator. Refer to the EMC Host Connectivity guide for additional information on Windows iSCSI components and the Microsoft iSCSI Software Initiator usage.
10. QLogic iSCSI HBAs are supported in any server listed in the ESM Fibre Channel tables that list support for the QLA2340 HBAs with the same operating system version listed here.
11. PowerPath 5.0.0 is not supported with Microsoft iSCSI Initiator software and Microsoft Cluster Server (MSCS)
12. QLogic iSCSI HBAs require the Microsoft iSCSI Software Initiator Service to be installed. The Service is required by Microsoft and is different from the full Microsoft iSCSI Software
Initiator.
13. Windows 2008 Server Core option is supported by EMC. Contact your server vendor to determine their support statement for Server Core.
14. Servers booting from external storage with QLA4010 iSCSI boards require Microsoft iSCSI Initiator 2.0 or 2.02 service to be installed. Note that HBA IQN must be altered prior to
Windows installation. Refer to EMC Host Connectivity Guide for information on changing IQN and setting up boot for servers requiring MS iSCSI Initiator service.
15. Driver Version 2.1.4.19
16. Firmware Version 3.00.01.49
17. Maximum number of iSCSI initiators that can log into an iSCSI target port is 8
18. Routed networks (layer 3) require iSCSI digest to be enabled.
19. LAN support includes direct connect (layer 2), switched (layer 2), or routed (layer 3) networks. Network should be designed to minimize packet loss or any other interruptions.
20. BIOS 1.14
21. Driver Version Microsoft iSCSI Initiator NIC teaming with Microsoft iSCSI Initiator is not supported. Native to Windows 2008 Server installation.
22. EMC provides documentation for iSCSI configurations that contains helpful information for using iSCSI with EMC storage. Visit EMC Powerlink and download part number
300−000−603 for the Windows Host Connectivity Guide.
23. iSCSI offload is currently supported on Dell PowerEdge Servers with the Broadcom NetXtreme II Network adapters (based on the Broadcom 5708 ASIC) with firmware v 4.0.3 (or
later) and Driver Family Version 11.0/T4.1, A00 or later. To download the latest firmware/driver, please visit http://support.dell.com
24. The following NICs are not supported: 3COM−3C996B
25. Any Microsoft supported server/NIC for the listed operating system revision is supported.
26. iSCSI Boot from SAN supported on certain IBM BladeCenter models The use of multiple NICs for multi pathing purposes is not supported. Contact IBM support to obtain a list of
supported blades and Microsoft Initiator version
