Introduction
Document Overview
The matrix that follows provides configurations that have been tested in Dell Compellent’s labs. For the Dell
Compellent Storage Center SAN, the testing confirms that the Storage Center correctly presents storage to an
operating system. For the Dell Compellent FS8600 NAS, the testing confirms that the FS8600 cluster correctly
interoperates with the switch and Storage Center environment components specified in the results.
The first portion of the document lists switches that have been tested and confirmed to be interoperable with the Dell
Compellent Storage Center SAN or with the Dell Compellent FS8600 NAS. Storage Center SAN switch results are listed
first and are separated by protocol. There is also a section with information about NPIV requirements and when to
persist FCIDs. There is a separate section for switches that have been certified with the FS8600.
The second portion of this document details the hardware and software used when testing the Storage Center SAN
against a number of different server adapters and software initiators in a variety of operating system environments.
The results are separated by protocol and operating system.
The third portion of this document specifies the versions of Storage Center Operating System (SCOS) and Enterprise
Manager (EM) that have been tested with the FS8600 NAS.
Dell Compellent Support Policy for Storage Center SAN

The Storage Center Compatibility Matrix details configurations that have been explicitly tested in Dell Compellent’s
labs. While Dell Compellent tests on a wide variety of configurations, it is impossible to test against every device or
version for all vendors with which the Storage Center SAN can interoperate. Therefore, the results presented in this
document do not imply a complete list of what is supported. A Storage Center configuration can fall into one of the
three levels of support described below. Contact the Dell Compellent validation team with questions about how to
classify a proposed configuration.
Level 1: Unconditional Approval

For any configuration that has been explicitly tested by the Dell Compellent certification team and is listed in the
Storage Center Compatibility Matrix, the customer will receive normal contracted warranty service and support.
Page 4
Level 2: Conditional Approval

In addition to the product versions specified in the Storage Center Compatibility Matrix, comparable hardware models,
newer firmware versions and minor versions of Operating Systems can be projected from the actual test results. On
the hardware side, if another switch or server adapter shares the same underlying ASIC or chipset as one of the
switches or adapters tested, then it will produce similar results and thus can be assumed to be compatible with the
Dell Compellent Storage Center. On the firmware side, if version X of firmware has been tested and works, then
versions newer than version X are expected to continue to work. Failure of a new firmware version to provide the
same service level as previous versions would be considered a regression and treated as a bug that needs to be fixed
by the appropriate vendor. On the operating system side, minor versions of operating systems are supported if not
explicitly tested. For example, if version 5.x has been tested and works, then prior versions and newer version of the
5.x operating system are expected to continue to work.
Dell Compellent will provide normal contracted warranty service and support for switches and adapters that leverage
the same ASIC or chipset or a newer firmware version as one of the switches or adapters that has been explicitly
tested, assuming the rest of the configuration matches the configuration that has been explicitly tested.
In addition, please note that this matrix lists generic versions of server adapters where applicable. However, Dell
Compellent recommends using dual-port or quad-port rather than single-port adapters for redundancy purposes.
Level 3: Best Reasonable Effort (BRE)

For Storage Center configurations that have not been explicitly tested, as long as an active support contract exists
with the appropriate vendor for any untested component of the configuration, Dell Compellent will provide normal
contracted warranty service and support until such time as it is determined that a problem lies within the untested
component(s) or the way they interoperate. Once this has been determined, Dell Compellent will only support the
untested components on a Best Reasonable Effort basis (BRE). BRE is defined as support Monday through Friday during
normal business hours (Local Time). Dell Compellent cannot guarantee that issues will be resolvable in a timely
fashion, and there is a possibility that the customer would need to convert to a supported configuration per the Dell
Compellent Compatibility Matrix. There is also a possibility that the customer would need to take the system out of
production in order to give Dell Compellent access, as Dell Compellent may not have the unique equipment/software
configuration in-house.
Dell Compellent Support Policy for FS8600 NAS

The FS8600 is a NAS appliance that sits in front of a Storage Center SAN. Dell Compellent explicitly certifies
components that exist within or between the Storage Center and FS8600, including the switch between the Storage
Center and the FS8600, as well as the software versions on the Storage Center array or the FS8600 appliance.
The sections below describe general support policies for the FS8600, particularly as they relate to the results
published in this document. There are additional environment and cabling considerations that should be taken into
account when building an FS8600 configuration. Consult other FS8600 documentation or contact the Dell Compellent
validation team to ensure that all the relevant factors have been taken into consideration.
Switch Support Policy

Regarding FS8600 switch testing results, Dell Compellent certifies switches for one of the three networks associated
with an FS8600 cluster, namely the back-end network to the Storage Center array. The FS8600 connects to the Storage
Center array via Fibre Channel, and at least one switch is required. Direct connect of the FS8600 to the Storage
Center array is not supported.
Page 5
The three levels of support described above are applicable to the FS8600 switches listed in this Matrix. Switches
explicitly listed in the FS8600 switch section receive Level 1 Unconditional Approval support. Switches that share the
same ASIC as a switch listed in the FS8600 switch section receive Level 2 Conditional Approval support; and other
Fibre Channel switches that have not been explicitly tested receive Level 3 Best Reasonable Effort (BRE) support. It is
also important to note that an FS8600 cluster can connect to a Storage Center array running in either Legacy or Virtual
Port mode. Accordingly, the NPIV requirements listed in this document should be applied to an FS8600 switch when
applicable.
There are two other networks associated with an FS8600 cluster, namely the front-end connection to the client
network, and the cluster interconnect network for communication between FS8600 controllers. Both of these
networks are Ethernet. For the cluster interconnect, switch ports are only required for multiple appliance clusters.
For more information on FS8600 networking, please reference other available FS8600 documentation or contact the
Dell Compellent validation team. As far as interoperability certifications, although Dell Compellent tests a number of
Ethernet switches internally, the only requirement for a supported FS8600 configuration is that any Ethernet switch
being leveraged for either the front-end or interconnect network must be a managed, VLAN-aware switch. For 10Gb
FS8600 appliances, the ports connected to the FS8600 must leverage SFP+ standards.
Storage Center + FS8600 Support Policy

Regarding testing for the interoperability between the Storage Center and the FS8600, Dell Compellent explicitly
certifies versions of Storage Center Operating System (SCOS) and Enterprise Manager (EM) against the FS8600. The
results in the FS8600 portion of this Matrix specify the version of Fluid File System code running on the FS8600. Since
the FS8600 is a first-generation product, it currently supports only one version of Fluid File System code, namely v2.
However, going forward, additional versions of the Fluid File System will be tested and added to this Matrix.
Dell Compellent will only support an FS8600 configuration connected to a Storage Center array using the SCOS and EM
versions listed in this Matrix. In addition, it is important to note that the FS8600 must be connected to either a Series
40 or an SC8000 array. Series 10, 20 or 30 arrays are not supported with the FS8600.
Client OS Environment
Although Dell Compellent internally tests the FS8600 in a variety of client operating system environments, it does not
explicitly certify client operating systems with the FS8600. Dell Compellent will support any client operating system
environment into which the FS8600 is installed.
Certification Requests
Dell Compellent will evaluate requests to certify a configuration not listed in this document based on the business
case presented. To request that an untested configuration be certified, please complete a “Certification Request
Form” (details located in the Appendix) and return it to Global_CML_Interop@dell.com. A request should only be
submitted if there is a strong business case for the given configuration. Dell Compellent will assess each request and
provide a response within 5 to 10 business days as to whether the requested configuration will be tested.
Operating System and Server Adapter Settings

Dell Compellent maintains documents with best practices and recommended settings for various operating systems,
server adapters and FS8600 configurations. These documents are available to download from Knowledge Center
(http://kc.compellent.com). End-users leveraging legacy UNIX operating systems are especially encouraged to view
these documents, as such environments have specific configuration considerations.

Dell PowerEdge Server Interoperability

The Storage Center Compatibility Matrix details configurations from the Compellent storage array to the server
adapter or software initiator. Please visit www.dell.com/poweredge for information on supported operating systems
and adapters for specific Dell PowerEdge server models.

†
A software incompatibility has been identified between some Storage Center 8Gbps FC configurations and Brocade fabric switches
General Recommendations:
 Use WWPN Zoning
 Use one fault domain per fabric
Not Supported:
 Direct Attach
 Arbitrated Loop Topology
Persistent FCIDs
In HP-UX and IBM AIX environments, the FCIDs of WWNs need to be persisted. However, HP-UX 11i v3 and greater has a
feature called Agile Addressing that, if enabled and used, eliminates the need for persistent FCIDs. Similarly, AIX 5.3
and greater has a feature called Dynamic Tracking that also eliminates that need for persistent FCIDs, but it is limited
to a failover time of 15 seconds.
Brocade’s persistent FCID feature is called fabric.wwnPidMode and is a switch-wide setting. It can be enabled in the
GUI as well as the command line. It requires a minimum FOS of 6.4.0 and is only available on 8Gbps hardware. In
addition, fabric.wwnPidMode does not persist virtual WWPN’s FCIDs.
Cisco’s persistent FCID feature is called Persistent FCID and is enabled on a per VSAN basis. It can be enabled in the
GUI as well as the command line. In MDS 91xx switches, there is a limitation that does not allow virtual WWPN’s to
have their FCIDs persisted. In MDS 92xx switches, Persistent FCID and NPIV ports coexist correctly.
There are HP-UX and AIX Copilot Services Technical Alerts (CSTAs) outlining these switch persistent FCID configuration
requirements in more detail. These CSTAs are available on Knowledge Center (http://kc.compellent.com).
