Abstract

The document titled Supported Hardware List, Device Driver, Firmware and Recommended Software Levels for the IBM Storwize V7000 provides the operating systems, Host adapters, SAN fabric elements, RAID controllers and selected other hardware that have been tested or qualified by IBM. Subsystem Device Driver Path Control Module (SDDPCM). We are providing host attachment with SDDPCM driver download. SDDPCM Package for IBM Storwize V7000.

The documents titled Supported Hardware List and Recommended Software Levels provide the operating systems, Host adapters, SAN fabric elements, RAID controllers and selected other hardware that have been tested or qualified by IBM. This page combines the previously separate Software and Hardware support matrices.
For operating systems, we show the latest tested release levels and service packs. Only the listed operating systems are supported. For host adapters, SAN fabric elements and RAID controllers, we list our currently recommended firmware and/or BIOS levels and formally support only the hardware listed.
While these levels are not mandatory levels for a customer to be supported by IBM, they are the recommended levels. There may be known operational issues with older firmware and BIOS levels and, in these cases, a customer working with the IBM Support center may be directed to upgrade a component to a recommended level.
Storwize V7000 will support all OS applications at any level that run to the standard block level OS interface. This includes such applications as Oracle, HP Virtual Connect, etc.
Note:
* The levels shown in italic text indicate previously recommended levels.
* The level shown in bold text indicates the latest recommended level.
* EOL - (End of Life):
Where interoperability items have gone end of life (out of support) and are no longer supported by the vendor either generally or by extended service contact IBM will continue to support the environment on a best can do basis. Where issues occur which are deemed by IBM support to be directly related to items which are no longer generally supported by the vendor IBM may direct customers to upgrade a component to a recommended level.

Storwize V7000 Code Compatibility

Storwize V7000 Non Disruptive Volume Move ( NDVM )
The following Fibre Channel attached host types are supported for non-disruptively moving a volume between I/O groups (control enclosures).

OS Version	Multipathing	Notes
NPIV	Non Disruptive Volume Move may leave the same Volume mapped to different hosts in the same host cluster using different SCSI IDs. If the host cluster cannot tolerate this configuration then non disruptive move cannot be used. For Host Clusters which cannot tolerate this condition users should quiesce their hosts, perform the NVDM steps to move the volumes to another IO group, reassign the SCSI IDs manually, then reconfigure and restart the hosts.	In SDDPCM 2.6.4.0, a new command 'changeprefcntl' is introduced to solve the host limitation - 'Preferred paths are not detected after moving a volume to a new I/O group. ' in SDDPCM 2.6.3.2 iSCSI hosts are not supported. SAN Boot is supported. NPIV is supported
			vSCSI	SAN Boot is supported. vSCSI only. NPIV is not supported in this configuration.
NPIV		iSCSI hosts are not supported NPIV is supported SAN Boot Supported, boot path should be updated after NDVM In NPIV configuration when RAW I/O is running over a disk, some enabled paths of that disk may get failed/invalid during NDVM. The failed/invalid paths will be recovered automatically by AIX path health check hence application I/O will not be impacted. Disks used by filesystem do not have such issue.
			vSCSI only. NPIV is not supported in this configuration.
		vSCSI
vSCSI				PowerHA 7.1 Supported	In NPIV configuration when RAW I/O is running over a disk, some enabled paths of that disk may get failed/invalid during NDVM. The failed/invalid paths will be recovered automatically by AIX path health check hence application I/O will not be impacted. Disks used by filesystem do not have such issue. Storwize V7000 host type should be changed to 'TPGS'
		SDDDSM	Non Disruptive Volume Move may leave the same Volume mapped to different hosts in the same host cluster using different SCSI IDs. If the host cluster cannot tolerate this configuration then non disruptive move cannot be used. For Host Clusters which cannot tolerate this condition users should quiesce their hosts, perform the NVDM steps to move the volumes to another IO group, reassign the SCSI IDs manually, then reconfigure and restart the hosts.
RHEL6.1				iSCSI hosts are not supported
		DMMP
	DMMP
	Native	VAAI should be disabled & is not supported using NDVM with Storwize
	MPxIO	iSCSI hosts are not supported SAN Boot is supported

Support for BladeServer Configurations

IBM Storwize V7000 supports Server Blades that meet all of the following criteria;

1. The Server blade contains Qlogic and Emulex generic chip sets running the IBM or equivalent supported Drivers;

and

2. These generic chip sets and drivers are present in the IBM Storwize V7000 support matrix for HBAs used in non Blade servers;

and

3. The Server blade is running an OS that is present in the IBM Storwize V7000 support matrix;

and

4. Either a Fibre Channel pass through module is used in the Blade server chassis to connect the Blades to an external FC network; or
The Fibre Channel switch module used in the Blade server chassis is equivalent (in the sense it runs the same microcode on the same switch hardware base) to a discrete Fibre Channel switch that is already listed in the IBM Storwize V7000 support matrix.

Examples of specific BladeCentre configurations that IBM includes in IBM Storwize V7000 interoperability testing currently include:

Please refer to the Configuration Guide which details the recommended customer configurable settings that should be applied for each storage controller type.
Multipathing

Round Robin: IO is distributed over multiple ports on the controller.
Mdisk Group Balanced: IO is sent to one target port on the controller for each mdisk. The assignment of ports to mdisks is chosen to spread all the mdisks within a mdisk group across all of the active target ports as evenly as possible.
Single port active: All IO is sent to a single port on the controller for all mdisks.
Controller Balanced: IO is sent to one target port on the controller for each mdisk. The assignment of ports to mdisks is chosen to spread all the mdisks accross all of the active target ports as evenly as possible.

Direct attach of Qfabric or QFX3500 to Storwize V7000 is not supported.

Other Hardware & Software
Technologies for extending the distance between two IBM Storwize V7000 clusters can be broadly divided into the following two categories.
Inter Cluster Fibre Channel Extenders

Fibre channel extenders simply extend a fibre channel link by transmitting fibre channel packets across long links without changing the contents of those packets. IBM has tested a number of such fibre channel extender technologies with IBM Storwize V7000 and will support fibre channel extenders of all types provided that they are planned, installed and operated as described in the Configuration Guide document.
Inter Cluster SAN Routers
SAN routers extend the scope of a SAN by providing 'virtual nPorts' on two or more SANs. The router arranges that traffic at one virtual nPort is propagated to the other virtual nPort but the two fibre channel fabrics are independent of one another. Thus nPorts on each of the fabrics cannot directly log into each other. There are distance restrictions imposed due to latency. The amount of latency which can be tolerated depends on the type of copy services being used (Metro Mirror or Global Mirror). Details of the maximum latencies supported can be found in the Software Installation and Configuration Guide.
Due to the more complex interactions involved, IBM explicitly tests products of this class for interoperability with IBM Storwize V7000.
The following SAN Routers are supported for use with IBM Storwize V7000 when planned, installed and operated as described in the Configuration Guide document.
