See the Oracle Solaris Operating System Versions for Oracle Solaris / SANsymphony combinations that are qualified.
Qualified vs. Not Qualified vs. Not Supported
Qualified
This combination has been tested by DataCore and all the host-specific settings listed in this document applied using non-mirrored, mirrored and Dual Virtual Disks.
Not Qualified
This combination has not yet been tested by DataCore using Mirrored or Dual Virtual Disks types. DataCore cannot guarantee 'high availability' (failover/failback, continued access etc.) even if the host-specific settings listed in this document are applied. Self-qualification may be possible please see Technical Support FAQ #1506.
Mirrored or Dual Virtual Disks types are configured at the users own risk; however, any problems that are encountered while using Oracle Solaris versions that are 'Not Qualified' will still get root-cause analysis.
Non-mirrored Virtual Disks are always considered 'Qualified' - even for 'Not Qualified' combinations of Oracle Solaris/SANsymphony.
Not Supported
This combination has either failed 'high availability' testing by DataCore using Mirrored or Dual Virtual Disks types; or the operating System's own requirements/limitations (e.g. age, specific hardware requirements) make it impractical to test. DataCore will not guarantee 'high availability' (failover/failback, continued access etc.) if the host-specific settings listed in this document are applied. Mirrored or Dual Virtual Disks types are configured at the users own risk. Self-qualification is not possible.
Mirrored or Dual Virtual Disks types are configured at the users own risk; however, any problems that are encountered while using Oracle Solaris versions that are 'Not Supported' will get best-effort Technical Support (e.g. to get access to Virtual Disks) but no root-cause analysis will be done.
Non-mirrored Virtual Disks are always considered 'Qualified' – even for 'Not Supported' combinations of Oracle Solaris/SANsymphony.
Oracle Solaris Versions that are End of Service
Self-qualification may be possible for versions that are considered ‘Not Qualified’ by DataCore but only if there is an agreed ‘support contract’ with IBM. Please contact DataCore Technical Support before attempting any self-qualification of Oracle Solaris versions that are End of Service.
For any problems that are encountered while using Oracle Solaris versions that are EOS with DataCore Software, only best-effort Technical Support will be performed (e.g. to get access to Virtual Disks). Root-cause analysis will not be done.
Non-mirrored Virtual Disks are always considered 'Qualified'.
