Host Servers/ Adapters: All host systems are supported where the host vendor allows the host/OS/adapter combination. All Fibre Channel HBAs branded as Emulex, QLogic or Broadcom with line speeds 8 Gb/s, 16
Gb/s or 32 Gb/s, including vendor rebranded versions of the same are supported. AIX and HP-UX vendor branded HBAs, also support the 4Gb/s FC link speed. 10 Gb/s Cisco, Emulex and QLogic CNAs (10GbE,
iSCSI, FCoE via FC-gateway), including vendor rebranded versions of the same are supported. 10 Gb/s NICs for iSCSI connectivity as supported by the server and OS vendor are supported.
Following allowances for Firmware/BIOS, Drivers, and for specific Platforms: Any Dell EMC or vendor-supplied firmware/BIOS that meets the ESM minimum version for specified OS platform are allowed (Newer
versions of the Firmware/BIOS higher than the minimum version are allowed). For Solaris, HP-UX and AIX platforms, Dell EMC only supports the Driver/Firmware/BIOS versions supplied by the OS Vendor. For CNA
(HBA) drivers refer to ELN, https://elabnavigator.emc.com, for supported versions. For Linux Drivers not listed in the ESM refer to the ‘Linux Out of Kernel Drivers Support (LoS)’. If systems meet these criteria, no
further ELN connectivity validation or RPQ is required.

Switches:
• All FC SAN switches (2 Gb/s or greater) from EMC Connectrix;, Brocade, Cisco, and QLogic Refer to the E-Lab Navigator (ELN) at https://elabnavigator.emc.com, Switched Fabric Topology Parameters table for
switch interoperability support.
• All EMC-approved 10 GbE FCoE switches from Brocade and Cisco for host connectivity. Only Cisco FCoE switches can be used to connect VPLEX storage arrays. Refer to the ELN for specific models and
firmware support. Refer to the Networking for Storage Virtualization and EMC RecoverPoint TechBook, located at https://elabnavigator.emc.com, for implementation information.

Note: See Table 2 for historical notes for VPLEX 5.0-5.4.x valid through March 2016. Notes pertaining to new data in Table 1 will show as footer notes in that table.

Note: See Table 3 for components information and Third-Party arrays that can attach to VPLEX.

Note: See Table 4 for a list of backend EMC storage arrays that can attach to VPLEX.

Note: The information in this ESSM is a configuration summary. The versions listed in the columns represent versions that work with the listed Platform/Operating Systems
and Storage Array. Versions listed in the columns for each specific Platform/Operation System may not be interoperable. For more detailed information, refer to the Advanced
Query section on the ELN home page at https://elabnavigator.emc.com.

10881 : VMware identified a problem with native multipathing (NMP) in ESXi 6.0 where failover may not be triggered when other paths to the LUN are
available. Upgrade to vSphere 6.0 update 2 (and later), that includes a fix for this issue. The update is available at VMware Downloads. For further details,
refer to VMware KB article# 2144657 (http://kb.vmware.com/kb/ 2144657). Since PowerPath/VE is not using VMware NMP, it is not affected by this issue.
