Fibre Channel Qualification Lists

This section shows all HBA models that SANsymphony can (or cannot) bind the DataCore Fibre Channel driver to when installed in a DataCore Server.
DataCore do not qualify HBAs used in Hosts connected to DataCore Servers but will support any Host HBA that is not listed as having a 'Known Issue'.
See: Known Issues - Third Party Hardware and Software
DataCore always recommend using the HBA vendor’s latest BIOS/firmware and drivers whenever possible. This applies to Hosts connected to DataCore Servers via FCoE or iSCSI as well.

Emulex 16 Gb/s (Gen 5/6) and 32Gb/s (Gen 6)
The minimum Emulex firmware requirement for any HBAs in a DataCore Server is 12.0.257.12.
Emulex 32/64 Gb/s (Gen 7)
The minimum Emulex firmware requirement for any HBAs in a DataCore Server is 12.2.299.11.

Users installing SANsymphonyfor the first time must ensure that all Emulex 16 or 32 GB HBAs have the minimum firmware version (or later) applied before installing SANsymphony, otherwise DataCore’s Emulex driver may not work as expected.
Users installing Emulex HBAs in a server that already has SANsymphony installed, must ensure that all Emulex HBAs have the minimum firmware version (or later) applied before manually updating to the DataCore Emulex driver (see Replacing a Third-Party Fibre Channel Driver for instructions) or they may not work as expected.
Users upgrading an existing version of SANsymphony, on a server that already has Emulex HBAs installed, do not need to do anything more. SANsymphony’s upgrade process always checks any Emulex HBA’s firmware version during the upgrade and will update it if necessary. Later versions of Emulex firmware are left unchanged.
